Format Text Strings

[Mungovan]

Hi,
I need to format a bunch of text strings so that they're tabbed apart.

That is:

<<
Dim myString as String

myString = &quot;Value 1 is:&quot; tabbed & textBox1

>>

Is there a way of &quot;returning&quot; a string as well? I.e


<<
Dim myString as String

myString = &quot;Value 1 is:&quot; returned & textBox1

>>

Thanks,
D

Hi,

Did you try using the vbTab character (ascii 9) to separate the strings? It will add a tab but won't guarantee that everything lines up, it depends on the length of each string, a bit like using the Tab key to line things up in a word processor.

I think this might work

myString = &quot;Value 1 is:&quot; & vbTab & textBox1

make sure that multiline is set to true in any text box that uses that string.

myString = &quot;Value 1 is:&quot; & vbTab & textBox1.text

myString = &quot;Value 1 is:&quot; & vbNewLine & textBox1.Text
