  hi, i have a multicolumncombox object on my form, i only display the first column.
  The cell width is larger than the multicolumncombox, so when i select an item, it's right aligned in the multicolumncombobox object like the screenshot.
  
  Optionnaly i don't want the control to be highlighted when i change selected item.
  
  
  thanks

  Hi Nermond,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  This issue was already reported by another user of ours. Please follow this link, where you can add your vote for this issue, and also subscribe for its status updates.
  
  Meanwhile, you can work around this issue, by using the following code snippet. The code in the form Shown event is to fix the text alignment when the form is loaded, and the code in the SelectedIndexChanged fixes the text after selection change:
  

  void radMultiColumnComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

      string oldText = radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text;

      radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text = string.Empty;

      radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text = oldText;

  }

   

  protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)

  {

      base.OnShown(e);

      string oldText = radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text;

      radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text = string.Empty;

      radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.Text = oldText;

  }

  
  I hope that you find this information helpful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
