Example is working for TextAlignment
I've tried the above example on an AutoCompleteBox in Silverlight, and the style seemed to have no effect. I was particularly trying to set the text alignment because if the selected text is longer than the control you only get the end of the text not the beginning. HorizontalContentAlignment also had no effect.
