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.

DevExpress DateEdit Force user to use menu popup

I have a WinForms app that uses this control and I would like to prevent the user from typing in a date. We want to make them have to use the popup calendar to make the date selection.
I tried setting ReadOnly of course but that puts the whole control into the read only state.
Our version of DevExpress is: 9.1.9.0

You can accomplish this task using the RepositoryItemButtonEdit.TextEditStyle property.
Assign the DisableTextEditorvalue with this property. In this mode a button editor is displayed in its normal way. However, editing and selecting text is not allowed.
Code snippet:
dateEdit1.Properties.TextEditStyle = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.TextEditStyles.DisableTextEditor;

How to inherit from silverlight Button?

I need to have button have 4 images that are changed by the application action.
I want to define new class ButtonEx that inherit from the Button class.
So, i did it by adding 'silverlight template control' and it to be inherit from control to Button.
Now, i cant see the images whan i put this ButtonEx on the page.
What i did wrong ?
How to fix it ?
( same code work fine in WPF )

Can you post any of your code? Did you create a visual style for it in themes\generic.xaml? Did you set the default style key?
I recently followed this tutuorial for a TextBox, you could so something similar for your button... http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Create-a-Custom-Control-Inheriting-from-TextBox.aspx

Store your images as resources then create a user control that has
- a button and the content of the button is an image
- a property to select the image from the resources
use the usercontrol as your button.

please post a code sample...
to inherit form button you simply need this.
public class ButtonEx:Button
{
}
this will have all functionality that button has.
if you want new template just add it in Themes/generic.xaml

From your question its not clear that you really need to be subclassing Button. Maybe you can get by with just copying and modifying the template of button (Blend helps for this), or just have the image as content bound to some property for the application to change (using a ValueConverter perhaps).

Combobox with button instead of textbox

I would like to create a combobox without any textbox and with a customizable icon in the button that opens the combobox. Something like this image (forget about the checkboxs)
I don't need you to post the solution, just some directions or resources so I can know how to begin this customization.
TIA

ContextMenuStrip which you manually display in the button's Click handler.

.Net 2.0 Winform Label Tool Tip

This has got to be something I just missed, but how do I add a tool tip to a label?
I saw something on the web about handling the mouse hover event, but how would I even handle it in code?

Add in your form the TooTip from the ToolBox than click once in your label and you'll see ToolTip in the property box.

Don't you just drop a ToolTip on a form, and then select the label and set the "Tooltip on Tooltip1" property? At least I remember doing it that way, or something very close to it.
Programmatically from MSDN:
System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip ToolTip1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip();
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(this.textBox1, "Hello");

Drop the TOOLTIP control onto your form. At that point, a ToolTip attribute appears in the Label's properties in the Designer (and is accessible in the code)

button = new Button();
button.Content = "Hover over me.";
tt = new ToolTip();
tt.Content = "Created with C#";
button.ToolTip = tt;
cv2.Children.Add(button);
