Using a graphics object to draw a string in a picturebox.

Been looking for a way to set a tab in the picturebox or graphic object and
can not find out how to do that.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Take a look at StringFormat.SetTabStops.

Then perhaps you'd like to read up on the problems you'll face if you use
PictureBox as a drawing surface in the GDI+ FAQ. That way you'll have the
answer to the next batch of questions even before you ask them ;-)

I think I'll be spending some time using StringFormat and reading at your
sites.

Thanks
