Formatting Text in a Textbox

Question

I have .txt file data that I need to display in a VB textbox in WindowsForm.  If I open the txt file in Wordpad, the file is displayed in tablular format.  When I open the file in notepad the text data is strung together. I would like to be able to display this file data in my textbox in tabular form but what I get when I open the data is formatted like Notepad.

 

In my program, I read the file data into a string and then perform Textbox1.text=MyString.

 

What do I need to do in my Textbox command to enforce data formatting like WordPad.

 

Thanks,

Fred

 

 

Answer 1

Is this actually an RTF file?  Lots of forward slashes?  Then you'll need to use RichTextBox.
