Tab?

[danyeungw]

If I want to print an email using text not html, how do I store the data in a RichTextBox and have the columns line up? Do I use tab and how?

For example, I want the output as below:

Name      Email             Telephone
Joe Smith jsmith@hotmai.com 858-555-5555
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]

Thanks.

it is possible but i would consider using of ListView control instead ... much easier solution and notice that RTB control has different purpose than formating data in columns.

I need to create a email body using RichTextBox and send as text (not html) format. How do I use control?

Thanks.

But it again depends on the receiver email parser ... even if you find a way to format it by using spaces the parser may ignore it and again format the text in its ussual way. However it is not good idea!

What do you recommend if I use text format? Thanks.

I found the way and just want to share.

dim strField as string
strField = strField.PadRight(30, " ")
