Use ES_LEFT and ES_RIGHT instead. And note ES_RIGHT right-aligns text in a multiline edit control on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.<br />

I believe that this is on the right track but...<br />
<br />
I have tried this with ModifyStyle and ModifyStyleEx (which I know is probably the wrong one) but the effect is the same - I get a success status but no change in the display. It doesn't matter if the text box is set to single or multiline.<br />
<br />
Any further ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Sigh - thanks for the information. I had searched the knowledgebase but I was looking for the WS_EX_RIGHT keyword so I missed this one.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am writing a program in VC++ that contains a text box. I wish to visually differentiate data entry in the box from data display by having data entry left justified and data display right justified.<br />
<br />
I have tried to use the ModifyStyleEx() function with the WS_EX_LEFT and WS_EX_RIGHT values but all I get is a success status returned - the text is unaltered.<br />
<br />
1) Is there something else I need to do?<br />
2) Is there a better way to achieve this effect?<br />
<br />
Thanks
