How to show the values of an Object in a rich text box...

Hello,

Need an easy way to Display the property values of an object (dynamically)

ie I need to show the values of an Object in a rich text box.
Background : We have a form, with a rich text box, where we want to display
the values of any given object (say customer, order etc). We declared (Dim
Obj as New Object) and assigned our application object. Now we want to print
as Text (string) the values of Obj.

Issue : We tried using Obj.ToString (similar to java), but here the default
implementation is to display the Name/type of the object rather than the
values. Is there any way we can get this to work without implementing a
toString in Each of our classes. (We really want to avoid this as there are
quite a few classes)

Is there any way to loop thro the properties of a class and print them /or
any other solution/ideas

For example:
I've created an Object "obj"
the "obj" contains the following properties:
name
Description
.....
.....
.....
Here i need to get the values of the Properties(Attr ibutes) in a rich text
box..
but i dont want to get the values as
obj.name
obj.Descriprion
....
....
and so on.

I want it in a single or simple code, no matter how many properties are there

Obtain the type object of your object using its 'GetType' method, then get
the according 'PropertyInfo' objects using the type's 'GetProperties'
method, iterate through the 'PropertyInfo' objects and use the 'GetValue'
method to determine a property's value.

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...
