Tab Characters in PrintPreview

[Mr Tired]

I am not able to preview the tabstops in the print preview option. I am
not able to see the effect of the tabstop in the print out put either.

help me before I crazy.

Cheers,

Tab characters don't move to a defined tab position in a PrintDocument. You
will need to parse out the strings and locate them in your code.

Instead of using tabs, use multiple calls to 'DrawString' with appropriate X
coordinate.

So should I replace the tabstops with spaces?

Const TabstopWidth As Integer = 22
Dim Line As String = ...
Dim CurrentX As Integer
For Each Column As String In Split(Line, ControlChars.Tab)
e.Graphics.DrawString(Column, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, CurrentX, 100)
CurrentX += TabstopWidth
Next Column
