Line text spacing Adjustment

tundewonder · June 26th, 2007, 08:04 AM

How Can I adjust line spacing in VS2005?
I have display like this in my listbox:

1000 26
10000000 30

Can anyone help me to write code on how to adjust the spacing between the text.

thanks in advance
Ola

Hi,

Change the font to Courier New and every item in the string you add will be the same length (you can add spaces).

Hi,

First of all my suggestion is to use ListView.

Now about your question
You have to decide every item his fixed size (the biggest size), and then to add the spaces to
the item.

For example:
If the biggest length is 10 characters and you have an item that his size is 5 characters, add 5 spaces in the end of the string (item).

Code:

        Dim str As String = "12345"
        If str.Length < 10 Then
            str = str + Space(10 - str.Length)
        End If

I recommend you to use list view instead of listbox. You can use multiple columns of list view.
Tell me more about your data and the method of fatching the data.

Thank you so much 0+

But I had solved the problem by this method

Private Function writeouttext3(ByVal a1 As String, ByVal a2 As String, ByVal a3 As String) As String

        Dim r As String ' Declaraction for line spacing
        r = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Space(50) + a1, 10)
        r = r + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Space(50) + a2, 20)
        r = r + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Space(50) + a3, 24)
        Return (r)

    End Function

lstBoxsg.Items.Add(writeouttext3(Num1,Num2 , Num3))

It workout great!
