Print format

How can i do to format my text to be nice and align when i print them.

Because, i'm printing 9 text box on the same line and each of them are different size, so when it goes out of the printer, it's not in the same column..

I know in Delphi we use the Format(%20...)etc..

but in Vb i don't know how to do this...

thanks everyone...

It depends on how your Printing and what kind of setup you're using, ie.

You could use a Fixed-Width Font like Courier and Make sure the Length of the Columns if Fixed, eg.

Code:

---

Printer.FontName = "Courier"
For iLine = 1 To 50
    For iCol = 0 To 4
        Printer.Print Left(TextBoxes(iCol) & Space(15), 15) & " ";
    Next
    Printer.Print
Next

---

Alternatively you could line up each Column before printing using the CurrentX Property of the Printer Object, eg.

Code:

---

For iLine = 1 To 50
    For iCol = 0 To 4
        Printer.CurrentX = iCol * 2000
        Printer.Print Textboxes(iCol);
    Next
    Printer.Print
Next
