Format Windows Forms text

Question

I have a system and I need to justify the text to the left, I have tried with the textbox and with ritchtext and neither of the two give me this option, I can only align the left, but when I align only the first column of text is aligned, the others follow the alignment and mess, the ideal would be I justify the left because the columns would be all aligned.

Answer 1

You can do the following, on the property TextAlign of TextBox you put as left.

When filling in the TextBox leave your string formatted, ex:

public static void Main()
{
  string[] names = { "Adam", "Bridgette", "Carla", "Daniel", "Ebenezer","Francine", "George" };
  decimal[] hours = { 40, 6.667m, 40.39m, 82, 40.333m, 80, 16.75m };

  Console.WriteLine("{0,-20} {1,5}\n", "Name", "Hours");

  for (int ctr = 0; ctr < names.Length; ctr++)
     Console.WriteLine("{0,-20} {1,5:N1}", names[ctr], hours[ctr]);

}

Upshot:

// The example displays the following output:
//       Name                 Hours
//
//       Adam                  40.0
//       Bridgette              6.7
//       Carla                 40.4
//       Daniel                82.0
//       Ebenezer              40.3
//       Francine              80.0
//       George                16.8
