ToolStripMenuItem.DisplayStyle = Text
ToolStripMenuItem.Text = "test1";
ToolStripMenuItem.TextAlign = "MiddleLeft";

When the relevant attributes as I set ToolStripMenuItem, the string "test1" did not stop at the left, and the left there is a blank area, how can I let the string docked on the left side, I want to position or any.

I guess that the blank area you see on the left side of the first menu item is due to the padding of the Menu Strip itself.
The default value of the left padding is 6 pixels.
Change it by adding the following row

C#

this.menuStrip1.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0, 2, 0, 2);
