Combobox.align readwrite property


Get or set the Combobox alignment, which position and size will be aligned relative to its parent (alignment persists even if the size of the parent changes).

  • "all" : the Combobox will be aligned along all the parent borders (and will cover the entire parent client area).
  • "bottom" : the Combobox will be aligned along the bottom border of the parent, preserving its height.
  • "top" : the Combobox will be aligned along the the top border of the parent, preserving its height.
  • "right" : the Combobox will be aligned along the right border of the parent, preserving its width.
  • "left" : the Combobox will be aligned along the left border of the parent, preserving its width.
