The tab character goes from one tabstop to the next tabstop. &nbsp; Tabstops are set up as 8 spaces, if the first word is 8 characters, then the tab will move the next item to offset 16. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If the first word on row 2 is 3 characters then tab will move the next item to offset 8. &nbsp;Tab doesn't put a fixed amount of space between each item, it moves to the next tabstop. &nbsp;You could use your own formatting like mahesh suggests with spaces instead of tabs. &nbsp;Another option is to use the ListView instead of the listbox. &nbsp;It is designed for multiple columns and you can add items to each column as opposed to trying to format them.

I am using a listbox to display a number of items separated by vbTab. The first vbTab seems to jump approx 20 spaces where subsequent ones jump approx 5 spaces. <br />
How can I change the first vbTab to be 5 spaces also ?<br />
Anyone any ideas ?

VB6 and vbTab

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
