Formatting Output In List Box ?
Jun 7, 2011I'm having trouble lining up data from a file with their respectable columns in a list box. I am using print zones to space out data evenly, but when i run the program the output is still messy. So I need lining up columns properly together. As of now, the first 2 list box items line up with each other perfectly, the data i am looping through to add to list box is not lining up correctly. I have changed my zones several times, but still no luck.
A chunk of my code (some) :
Dim fmtstr1 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr2 As String = "{0,-5} {1,20} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"
Dim fmtstr3 As String = "{0,-5} {1,10} {2,7} {3,7} {4,7} {5,7} {6,7} {7,8} {8,12}"

Formatting Output With Zones
Oct 6, 2009Ex) Dim fmtstr as string="{0,15}{1,10}{2,8}" if I understand correctly the leftmost number is the zone number and the number to the right is the character width?
View 5 RepliesFormatting Output With Zones?
Oct 8, 2009Is there a rule of thumb used to set the character width of a zone?
For example:
Dim fmtstr As String = "{0,-10}{1,12}{2,14}{3,12}"
lstcolleges.Items.Clear()
lstcolleges.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtstr, "College", "enrollment", "endowment", "public ss"))
This will align the text nicely into a list box. How do I determine how to set the character width?

View 1 Replies.net - Formatting Writeline Output In VB 2010?
Mar 14, 2012I have been searching for a way to format output using writeline/write (streamwriter)using RTF tags and wondering if there is a syntax for this, if it exists. I have not been able to find a resource which clearly explains how to "pretty" up output sent to a file.
The reason why I am asking is because I want to "print" results from my program into a file that, at the very least, would be centered, tabbed and even bolded where possible without requiring the user to go and futz with it. I think I saw that Crystal Reports won't work with VB 2010 Express and, quite frankly, just want to create a file with output.

VS 2008 Any Primer For Formatting Output In Console App
Mar 18, 2012I would like to have my output in columns, and the numbers in two digit after the decimal.
I am writing a data validation app where the app asks the user for input like give me a number of double type: and hopefully the user will comply.
But the app will test some validation rules and then:
1) if the user simply pressed enter the app will tell the user all sorts of reasons why the input was rejected. And that part should look like a table with columns for the entry, if it passed true, otherwise false and then the reason line empty input. Or this number is a string.
Formatting Numbers - Output With Properly Inserted Commas
Mar 7, 2012How to format numbers in VB.Net. All I want is properly inserted commas in my final output. Such as:

View 1 RepliesDate Time Formatting In A Text Box?
Oct 5, 2009I'm try to come up with a way for a user to enter a date and time into a textbox and for that value to be saved as a datetime variable back into a database. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a clever way to restrict what values a the user can enter so that the datetime datatype isn't corrupted. I've been playing around with the date time picker but I cannot seem to get that to work for me. I'd like the user to either pick the date and time from a picker and save that into a variable. Or I've seen applications where the textbox will automatically have a formatting type of template that makes it hard for the user to enter an invalid date and time.

Usercontrol : Textbox Text Formatting?
Oct 30, 2009I've made a user control (http:url.....)I'm trying to format the text based on the data type e.g.:
Date
Numeric - 2 Decimals
Numeric - 0 Decimals
String
Now, I've added a property so that the user can decide at design time, what format he wants for the textbox. I've also made the options an enum. And then the coding in a sub. But not sure what I have to do with the sub.When I put it in the TextChanged event, then I get the weirdest behaviour from it.LIke when I typed in 1234 on Numeric0Decimals, after I typed 4, the cursor jumped to the first position of the textbox...On type Date, I just type in 2009/08 and then again it just jumps to the front and set the text to 01/08/2009 .So obviously can't place the sub in the textchanged event...
Private msTextConversion As TextConversionOptions
Enum TextConversionOptions
DateType[code]....
I'll obviously still change my sub to make sure that the text entered is numeric,or string, or valid date etc. Just didn't get around that part yet.
