Getting the child control (i.e. TextBox) of an ComboBox

Question

In MFC i can get the it using the following method:

textbox = CWnd::GetWindow(GW_CHILD);

How can i directly access the textbox control of a combobox in C#, so that i can do the following:

textbox.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right;

???

@Nick. I already read this post. I still need to set textbox aliging to right. The implementation you suggest only affects the aligning of list items. — A.B., Mar 30 '14 at 13:18

I think it is impossible in WinForms.

but you can btain the Horizontal-Alignment functionality by setting ComboBox1.RightToLeft To RightToLeft.Yes.

True. You need to either write own ComboBOx class, or abandon the WinForms, and work with more efficient UI platform like WPF. – dovid Mar 30 '14 at 13:22
