How to 'align' text in RichTextBox C#?

Question

How do I align the text in a RichTextBox?

Basically, the RTB contains:

\"--testing\"

Answer 1

You would have to change the font to a monospaced font, like Courier. This behavior you're showing is standard with most fonts, as not all characters are the same width.

Answer 2

Unless it is very necessary for you to use a rich textbox, you can simply use a textbox and choose alignment as

textbox.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;/*could be left, right or center*/

Answer 3

RichTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

or

GetRichTextBox().SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

for multiple pages.

Answer 4

richTextBox1.SelectAll();
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
richTextBox1.DeselectAll();

Answer 5

You want to use the RichTextBox.SelectionAlignment property.

For instance if you want the whole textbox centered, then you would do:

richTextBox1.SelectAll();
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

If you want only part of the textbox with a certain alignment, then use the RichTextBox.Select() routine to select the text, then set the SelectionAlignment property.
