Displaying Equations on a Form

[smjmitchell]

Hi All,

I need to display some equations on a form in VB (I will print the
result in a text box beside the equation).

The equations will in some cases be quite complicated and include
squares, fractions, powers, square roots, summations, greek characters
etc.

The question is: what is the best way to display these equations on
the form in a format of equal quality to that produced by the equation
editor in MS Word (say). In other words I want to lay out the equation
properly with all the right symbols etc, not just type the equation as
you would in the VB code and display it as a single line of
text.

Do I need to position each character on the form separately to
build up the equation ? Do I need to generate it in another program and
display it as a graphic or is there a much easier and better way ?????

Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated.
