Hi.

Using the code...

text_setstring(dataBoxTXT, "   DayHigh         " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(dayHi,decimals) + newline +

				"   DayLow          " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(dayLo,decimals) + newline + 

				"   DayRange        " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(dayRng,decimals) + newline +

				"   PrevDayRange    " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(prevDayRng,decimals) + newline + 

				"   AvgDayRange     " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(dayAvgRng,decimals) + newline + 

				" " + newline +

				"   OvernightHigh   " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(overnightHi,decimals) + newline + 

				"   OvernightLow    " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(overnightLo,decimals) + newline + 

				"   OvernightRange  " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(overnightRng,decimals) + newline + 

				"   PrevOverRange   " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(prevOverRng,decimals) + newline + 

				"   AvgOverRange    " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(overAvgRng,decimals) + newline + 

				" " + newline +

				"   SessionHigh     " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(sessHi,decimals) + newline + 

				"   SessionLow      " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(sessLo,decimals) + newline + 

				"   SessionRange    " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(sessRng,decimals) + newline + 

				"   PrevSessRange   " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(prevSessRng,decimals) + newline + 

				"   AvgSessRange    " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(sessAvgRng,decimals) + newline + 

				" " + newline +

				"   PrevDayHigh     " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(prevDayHigh,decimals) + newline + 

				"   PrevDayLow      " + spaces(4) + " -  " + NumToStr(prevDayLow,decimals));

... I'm trying to align the text using "spaces", but something's wrong. I have the same number of characters for the text, the same "spaces" number, but the result is this:

How can I get those values aligned?

Regards,
Fernando

How can I get those values aligned?

Try using a monospaced font like Courier or Lucida Console (other examples).

By the way, using the same code, is it possible to use different colors for the numtostr() inside the text_setstring()?

I'd like to have specific colors for some of the text, but since text_setcolor() needs a text ID I don't know how to to this nor if it's possible to do it.
