How to use TE_RIGHT style on a TextCtrl?

On Windows, the "testing" string is packed to the right of the text control, and the text in the text control is right-justified as well. Is that what you were expecting?

Here's the shortest possible illustration of the problem I'm having.

import wx
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame=wx.Frame( None, -1, "Test" )
entry = wx.TextCtrl( frame, -1, "testing", style=wx.TE_RIGHT )
frame.Show( wx.true )
app.MainLoop()

The "testing" string is justified to the left of the text control. Am I doing something wrong, or is this known not to work? If I use style=wx.TE_PASSWORD instead, I get starts instead of characters; so I'm assuming that the code above should work.

Yes, thanks.

It sounds like it's a known limitation of the version of GTK that wxPython is
using in my environment. Oh, well. Non-critical issue for me. Maybe I'll
try with GTK2 later.

Looks like I got bit by the Law of Leaky Abstractions. :slight_smile:
