  The inability to specify alignment in a single-line text box is a limitation of the underlying Windows CE text box control. There is a work-around however:

  1. To allow textbox alignment to be set, set the textbox's Multiline property to true.
  2. To keep text on a single line in a multiline textbox:
  1. Set the form's KeyPreview property to true. This will route keys to the form prior to sending them to the control.
  2. Add a handler for the form's KeyUp event. In this handler, disallow the enter key if the textbox has focus. This will keep text in the textbox on a single line.

  
private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (this.textBox1.Focused && e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}

  Hi Bright angel,
  This has nothing to do with installing VS2005 or .NetCF2 Servic Pack1.
  the text alignment of the standard text box, in smart device development, is always "Left".

  Maybe it is the same behavior as in VS 2003. There you have first to enable the Multiline property to align the text. Hope this works also in VS 2005.
