Hi All,
If it's not the place for such question then kindly show me the door of 
right NG.

I want to print an array of integers with right alignment something like 
this:

23  45   7
  7   2  34
10  23   9

I'm using AnsiString to achive this but it seems it doesn't doing the 
right thing. Following is the code:

void __fastcall TForm_EM::print2DArray( int** ptr, int maxRow, int maxCol)
{
    AnsiString outString;
    AnsiString temp;
    for(int row = 0; row < maxRow; row++)
    {
       for(int col = 0; col < maxCol; col++)
       {
         temp =  "";
         temp.sprintf("%3d",*(ptr+maxCol*row+col));
         outString+= temp;
       }
       ListBox_Debug->AddItem(outString,this);
       outString = "";
    }
}

In console based application this can be done easily with 
cout.setf(ios:right) and setw(3) functions

Any help?

cheers
