How to 'align' text in RichTextBox C#?

Question

How do I align the text in a RichTextBox?

Basically, the RTB contains:

"--testing"

"--TESTING"

"TESTING--"

"testing--"

Which all have the same number of characters, but have different alignments. How can I align them properly? Im fairly new to C# and confused since it aligned properly in Java's TextArea.

Thank you!

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.
