Hello everyone.

Working on a simple program (plug-in) written in .NET for private usage. basically, it has a lot of small programs combined, and will run on start-up.
It can already take screen shots (with regions) and has global input event handlers, window class with windows API's to manipulate other windows (close, copy, minimize, maximize, hide, show etc.). Now working on the "Data Reader".

I had already finished the coding structure behind it, but I am not pleased with the gui...it doesn't display enough of the file at once. Here a screenshot:


It can highlight parts of the file and display the corresponding string, int16, int32, int64, single, double and Unicode character. Problem is, for the GUI I can only think of two versions:
- horizontal version: nicely aligned like my above screenshot but does not display enough.
- vertically aligned with a fixed character width. Displays enough, but lacks readability due to the multiple lines, and makes it hard to display byte values.

What would you do in my case? Stick with horizontal as it is now, change to vertical line view or maybe something completely different?
