listbox with columns

Since you only are calling this once, you can abreviate the following line:
SendMessageArray List1.hWnd, LB_SETTABSTOPS, CLng(UBound(TabStops) - LBound(TabStops) + 1), TabStops(LBound(TabStops))

As follows:
SendMessageArray List1.hWnd, LB_SETTABSTOPS, 1, TabStops(0)

The standard listbox does not support multiple columns, but if you set the font to Courier New (or other fixed-point font like Win2000's Lucida Console) it will be pretty easy to line things up.

Alternately, you can get a listbox that supports multiple columns, like the one that comes with Access and is part of the MS Forms 2.0 Object Library. (Note that this particular one can only be distributed with permission from MS, although you could try to write your own!)

This is basically what the code I posted does, without the need to use Fixed Fonts.

If you already have reference to "Microsoft Windows Common Controls" component, use ListView control in Report view.

Good job, Anthony.

However, I always try to avoid API calls when not necessary, simply because they are likely to break in future versions, especially with .net looming...

In this case, they might be necessary...if you want a proportional font.

Have to agree with ameba on this one use a ListView control instead of a List control. No messing around with API calls, Fonts, positioning columns etc.

Vin.

thanks man,

worked like a charm - exactly what i wanted.

Jst, optionally, you could add microsoft forms component to toolbox and use listbox from it since it has columns property.
It uses resources and i don't know if it is redistributable.
