The listbox, textbox, etc. controls I use seem to have left padding of about 2 characters, which looks rather odd. So whenever I add text to these controls, it always looks like there are 2 blank spaces at the beginning of the string (although there is not). I was able to fix the problem with the textbox control by setting the "SelectionMargin" property to false. The listbox control does not have this property however. I ran VB6 and inserted listboxes and textboxes and this problem does not occur. The application works fine, it just looks rather strange. What am I missing?
