displaying data in a textbox

[Kate]

I want to display text in columns in a textBox, but can't set the position
of the tabs in the box.
I've used 'vbtab' , but you can't set the column/tab number.
Any ideas??

TIA
Kate

Kate,
For WebForm, use a DataList instead of a TextBox. e.g.
http://www.daveandal.com/books/4885/data-binding/global/viewsource.aspx
- click on "View Source" on bottom left of that page

For WinForm, use a ListBox instead of a TextBox. e.g.
