From the looks of your screenshot, the font property is not properly being applied. You can see that font is not fixed width since the letters do not line up between the 2 rows. Try using “Courier New” or “Consolas”.
PowerShell Studio (http://www.sapien.com/software/powershell_studio) is great if you are working with forms.

But I came across a script online that I find useful, and now I am trying to modify it a bit. What the script does is put a listbox on a form; the listbox is populated with an entry I am trying to construct (by which I mean - I am concatenating 3 string variables together, and adding that as the list entry. Here's the problem: The onscreen formatting needs to be a fixed width, and what I am ending up with looks like this: [Inline image 1] See how it's wandering? I want a fixed font onscreen, and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to do that. I am padding the individual components to the widths I want, but it still shows onscreen like that. Here's the code snippets: $FormWidth = 300 # 300 $FormHeight = 500 # 320 $objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form $objForm.Text = "Select user(s)" $objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size($FormWidth,$FormHeight) $objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen" ## ----- Make the ListBox ----- $objListBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox $objListBox.Name = "List of RDS Users" $ListBoxLocationWidth = $FormWidth * 0.03 $ListBoxLocationHeight = $FormHeight * 0.09 $objListBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size($ListBoxLocationWidth,$ListBoxLocationHeight) $ListBoxSizeWidth = $FormWidth * 0.93 $ListBoxSizeHeight = $FormHeight * 0.05 $objListBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size($ListBoxSizeWidth,$ListBoxSizeHeight) $objListBox.Height = $FormHeight * 0.41 $objListBox.ScrollAlwaysVisible = $true $objListBox.Font = "Courier Regular" $objListBox.SelectionMode = "MultiExtended" Function FillListBox { $LoggedOnUsers = Get-RDUserSession -ConnectionBroker "$connectionBroker" -CollectionName "$SessionHostCollection" | Sort-Object -Property UserName ForEach ($user in $LoggedOnUsers) { $RDS_User = "{0,-10}" -f $user.UserName.PadRight(10) SWITCH ($user.SessionState) { "STATE_CONNECTED" { $RDS_Status = "ACTIVE "} "STATE_DISCONNECTED" { $RDS_Status = "DISCONNECTED"} } $RDS_Server = [string] $user.ServerName $TheListEntry = $RDS_User + "| " + $RDS_Status + "; " + $RDS_Server.SubString(0,10) [void] $objListBox.Items.Add($TheListEntry) } I'm sure it's simple, but it's eluding my fried brain today.
