Problems when using IconAlignment with WinForms ErrorProvider

Question

I have a ComboBox that has an associated ErrorProvider in the user control it belongs to. When an error happens, I want to display an icon on the left of the combo.

However, no matter what value I set as IconAlignment for my combo, the icon gets displayed on the right. Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong here?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

If you call Clear() method of ErrorProvider, it resets the IconAlignment of the associated controls.

You can use ErrorProvider's SetError(control, String.Empty) instead to clear the error for the ComboBox.
