How do I increase space between Checkbox's text and the checkbox?

I'm working with a .NET WinForms form. I'm adding a new Checkbox control to the layout, but I need its text and checkbox elements to align with existing controls. Is it possible to bump out my Checkbox's checkbox element from its text element? Or am I better off creating a separate Label control?
thanks
Try using the following settings for your CheckBox controls:
checkBox1.AutoSize = false;
checkBox1.CheckAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
checkBox1.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
You will have to set the location and the size of the control yourself now.
Just create a custom (composite) control by adding a checkbox and a label. set the spacing as per need.

How to remove default focus set on combobox in winform

In windows form, I have 5-7 combobox on one 3 tab pages of tab control.
This tab control reside in a group box.
There are other two groupboxes containg other text box and listview controls.
Problem is, When defualt load the form control then focus set on combobox and unable to unselect.
Tried by changing property- causevalidation to false but no output.
Please guide.
Add a line on Page Load to set focus on the control you want to focus.
For Ex:
txtName.Focus();
EDIT
Use this
ActiveControl = yourcontrolNameToWhichYouWantToSetFocus;
You can set the TabIndex of the controls, the lowest index will be the first focused. (TabStop should be true)
I you want to set focus to another combobox you should call Select() method.

Dropdown menu overlaps other controls

In my WPF application I would like to get a dropdown menu under some other elements in the window. When menu is expanded it overlaps other controls. But I need these controls remain over the menu anytime.
I tried to play with ZIndex, but without any success.
Is it possible somehow to show dropdown menu under other controls?
Thanks for help!
You cannot achieve this with a drop-down menu, because by definition it is displayed on a separate window above the current window.
So if you want some control to appear under other controls, you have to use just normal controls like Grid, make them invisible at the beginning, and show as soon as you need the "dropdown" to appear (and of course hide afterwards).

How can I place a 'favorites' icon on a tab using Infragistics XamTabControl?

I want to be able to allow a user to set a module as a Favorite by toggling a star icon that is placed on each tab. Is this possible using Infragistics XamTabs?
The technique you want to use is to template the tab header. You should create a style that targets the TabItemEx and provide a HeaderTemplate.
In my sample I added a Radio Button and an Image to the header which are bound to an IsFavorite property in my viewmodel causing the image to be visible when the radio button is checked. The VisConverter converter is being used to toggle the visibility property of the image.
See more details and my sample here.

Winform and Tab?

When setting up a Winform with textbox controls, and going to View Tab Order -
how do you indicate when you are done setting tab order and want it to be saved?
Is there any other way to set the Tab Order of the controls on the form?
When you are finished, click the tab order again or press Esc.
You can set the tab order using the Tab Index property either in design mode or at runtime.
To indicate that you are done, hit ESC.
You can change the tab order by setting the TabIndex property on the controls themselves
When you begin setting the tab order you klick the tab order button. When you are done you click it again to disable it.
You can set the tab order number in each controls properties sheet or at runtime via the TabIndex value.
