The most obvious way to right-align a Label
in WinForms doesn't work: setting anchor to Top/Bottom Right and TextAlign to TopRight. If the text changes the label's Left coordinate remains unchanged instead of the Right coordinate (which, one might argue, is a bug).
For this reason I've always used a full-width TableLayoutPanel
for right-aligned labels. However this is not always very convenient, depending on the layout in question…
So, I wonder if there are any other ways to keep a Label right-aligned in WinForms that never occurred to me?

One simple option is to disable
AutoSize
(set tofalse
) and over-size it so there is spare space.Alternatively, perhaps use
Dock
instead of justAnchor
, although this has a different meaning, so you may need to put it in aPanel
or similar). Ultimately this works like the first - by over-sizing it in the first place; so perhaps the first option is simpler.
