[Gambas-user] TableView Lacking Alignment Function

[Randy Millner]

Hello Rolf, thanks for the reply,
I tried manually declaring padded whitespace. Example:
TableView1.Columns[7].Title = "         Amount"
And the result was only one space being delivered to the final output:
" Amount"
What would be different if I wrote a function?
