How do I format a Label to look the same as a Textbox using DND?
I have a screen with several textboxes but I also need to capture a date on this screen.
I tried a non-editable textbox but it doesn’t recognize a ‘Click’ event (it just accepts text), so I am forced to use a label.
However, the vertical alignment of text in a label is different to the vertical alignment in a text box.
Is it possible to get the alignments the same so that the textboxes and label look identical?

Try left alignment, changing border background colour
