Content Alignment TextBox & RadComboBox

[Bob]

Is there a simple way to get the text in a RadComboBox and a TextBox to be aligned?  Both controls are aligned but the text within the controls are slightly misaligned.

Thanks,

Bob

 

Sample XAML:

<Window x:Class="AlignmentIssue.MainWindow"
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
                Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
        <Grid>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="45" />
            <RowDefinition Height="45" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <telerik:RadComboBox Grid.Column="0"
                             Grid.Row="0"
                             SelectedIndex="0">
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Content="Begin Item 1" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Content="Begin Item 2" />
        </telerik:RadComboBox>

        <TextBox Grid.Column="0"
                 Grid.Row="1"
                 Text="Begin Alignment Test" />

    </Grid>
</Window>

Hello,

The easiest way to align the content would be to use the Padding of these two controls. For example you can set Padding="6 0" to the RadComboBox and Padding="5 2" in implicit style targetting all RadComboBoxItems. Or set custom Padding="1 2" to the TextBox. These values work for our default Office Black theme.
