Aligning Text in List Box

[Brent Boshart]

I have a listbox which contained people's names and dates of birth. How can I align then names and birthdates without using a fixed font?

You can find quite a discussion of using TabStops in list boxes
on this BBS. Use search for List and TabStop, and you should find
all you need.

This works:
Redim tbs(5) as long

After you create your ListBox, set your desired Tab stops per the example.

'Set the tab positione in the list box
tbs(0) = 40: tbs(1) = 70: tbs(2) = 100: tbs(3) = 160 : tbs(4) = 400: tbs(5) = 500 ' whatever..
CONTROL SEND hDlg, %IDLIST, %LB_SETTABSTOPS, 5, VARPTR(tbs(0))

I expect when you AddItems the items will contain tabs (CHR$(9)).

Note, neg. numbers (tab value) will make them right aligned..
