Negative Value not printed correctly

Question

In my project printing a negative value with format flag right to left. but it print a value like this "136-". What am do wrongly? How to print value like "-1233".

Am setting string format like this:

Dim mAmtFormat As New StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.DirectionRightToLeft) 

Using format in printdocument like this:

e.Graphics.DrawString("-123", mTextFont, Brushes.Black, mConsumMeas.xQtyX, mTop, mAmtFormat)

Answer 1

The right-to-left format is used for languages that are read from right to left. You want to use alignment to align the text to the right:

Dim mAmtFormat As New StringFormat()
mAmtFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far
