MaskedTextBox.TextAlign Property

Definition

C#
public System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment TextAlign { get; set; }

Property Value

One of the HorizontalAlignment enumeration values that specifies how text is aligned relative to the control. The default is Left.

Exceptions

The value assigned to this property is not of type HorizontalAlignment.

Remarks

You can use the TextAlign property to align the displayed text within a MaskedTextBox to match the layout of visual elements on your form. For example, if your controls are all located on the right side of the form, you can set the TextAlign property to Right, and the text will be aligned with the right side of the control instead of the default left alignment.
