align text in a message box

[wengang]

Hey guys. has anybody else tried this? it doesn't work.
strMessage = ""
for x = 1 to 5
strMessage = strMessage & vbCrLf & strArray(x)
For y = 1 to (70 - Len(strArray(x)))
strmessage = strMessage & " "
Next y
strMessage = strMessage & strArray2(x)
Next x
MsgBox(strMessage)

What is this for? It should take these 2 arrays and make even columns out of them. But it doesn't. The number of characters in the first array aren't always the same width and so the second column is not aligned.

Since I won't know what is going to print in this array, I can't "make" it line up.

Any thoughts?


Thanks

it works if u print it in the debug window....maybe there's a problem with the msgbox function???

It's bacause a msgbox uses a proportional font i.e. a "W" is wider than a "i"
