I think you need to enable it, set the font and then disable it. I don't think it will refresh while it's disabled.

I don't get expected result when I do as your way, I want to use Label to instead TextBox, but Right-Aligned is not to work with Label control, and it works with TextBox control, I need Right align. Another your way to help me do this? Thanks.

For right align to works, label must not be auto-sized as autosizing is relatif to top-left corner.

You can make it ReadOnly. This way will look like enabled, you can format it, and still can not be edited. Or use a Label with border instead.
