bonjour

why chr(9) don't work in streamwriter :

in the code :
For lPointer = 1 To Val(txtWordCount.Text)

'w.WriteLine(aryListBox(lPointer))

w.Write(lPointer.ToString & ")" & aryListBox(lPointer) & ChrW(9))

Next

thanks for help

Standard question #1:
What do you mean by "not working"?

Standard question #2:
What error message do you get?

bonjour

when i use the code, there is no error message. in the rtb (where i load the txt document i made before with this code, all the words from my list appear in the correct way  like this:

Mots à trouver :


1)PARLONS    2)PRENONS    3)SACHONS    4)ALLONS

6)PARLEZ     7)PRENDS     8)SACHEZ     9)SOYONS

but when i use the print preview form all the tabs seem to have disappear... like this :

Mots à trouver :

1)PARLONS 2)PRENONS 3)SACHONS 4)ALLONS 
6)PARLEZ 7)PRENDS 8)SACHEZ 9)SOYONS

But when i print this document.txt with another software like notepad++ everything is allwright. It seems to be a problem with the setting of the printpreview form ? perhaps i have to tell the form to use the fixed font courrier ? but i don't know how...

Ok, so the problem is not with the StreamWriter at all, it's with the
method that you use to print the result... Why didn't I understand that
from your original post? ;)

Do you have any reference that says that it should support tab
characters at all?

When you print the file with some other software, that software formats
the printout the same way as it handles the tab characters when it
displays the file on screen.

If tab characters are handled, they can either be treated as moving
forward to the next tab stop (often evenly spaced across the page) or
like wide space characters, for an example having the width of three
space characters.

There is nothing magical about tab characters that just works, it has to
be handled by the software, and it's up to the creator of the software
to decide how to handle it.

hi

So if I understood, i have to write some code in the printpreview form to
handle the tab ? What kind of code and where : in the PrintDocument ?
thanks for your help

I suggest that you first look up if the preview handles tab characters
or not.

Then you decide if it handles them the way you want, or if it doesn't,
how you want to handle them.
