If you have multiple CXTPControlEdit and CXTPControlComboBox controls, how do you left-align all the edit fields. I thought that the SetLabelWidth did the trick, but it does not seem to work on CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu, and in menus. See the Custom Themes Sample shows how bad it looks, when the Test menu is selected.
When used as part of a Ribbon, a method is called CXTPRibbonGroup::ArrangeEditCaption, which I think does it for the Ribbon?
This is really needed!

I would like to answer this question again!
I a CommandBar Track Menu I cannot get Edit controls to be aligned correctly.
If I add two CXTPControlEdit controls after each other I get the upper case in the picture below. The Edit fields have different sizes and is not left aligned.
What I want is the lower case where the Edit fields have the same size and is both left and right aligned.
 I expected that the SetLabelWidth would force the label to have a certain size. What I see is that this has no effect if I set the labels using SetCaption on the control. But if I use ShowLabel it uses the text from the ID given. Using SetWidth on the control does not have any effect either on the alignment.
Please what to do!
