How to align text in columns in a TextArea?
Thanks
You can’t
You might be able to do this if you use a monospaced font, and then calculate the spacing yourself, e.g.

What about:
https://documentation.xojo.com/api/user_interface/desktop/desktoptextarea.html#desktoptextarea-textalignment
That will allign the whole content of the textarea, doen’t it?
That is not what the documentation says:
And you also have SelectionAlignment
Now, the OP never tells us what its goal is… so it is hard to give advice(s), as usual (for all qestions / all people).
Notably, he does not say if he needs to save the result to disk (creating a wp…)
If the text is read-only, use a separate textarea for each column.

I remember using MBS plugins to play with a TextArea. There is something like the “Layout Manager”, that could do a lot of things that can’t be done in a regular TextArea.
