Mis-alignment while using 3 CXTPControlEdit ctrls

   Hi Experts, 

I'm trying to fix one bug related to Codejock controls implemented in our software. The UI we implemented is exactly same as 'Scale to Fit' group on 'Page layout' tab in MS Excel. Basically  we need 2 drop down controls and 1 spinner control. I used CXTPControlEdit for all the 3. For the spinner control I used API ShowSpinButtons(TRUE). With these 3 controls I'm facing problem that the edit boxes for all these 3 controls are not aligned with each other. You can see the similar problem on 'scale to fit' group in Excel. Here Microsoft folks have aligned the right hand side of the edit boxes and there is misalignment on the left side. I don't know whether this is intentional feature or not. But when i try to align the left hand side I get mis-alignment with all 3 edit boxes. This problem is more severe in case of Japanese, Russian and Korean languages. On these localized product we see the spinner control over-lapping with the caption. Could you please suggest work around for resolving this problem?

Thanks,
Sameer
