ListBox, tabbing

I have a listbox, and a bunch of string in it.
the strings are in this shape:

Code:

---

sptrinf("%s \t %s", name, lastname);

---

'\t' is the tab, my goal is this:
since all the character widths are not the same:

Quote:

---

mmm
lll

---

i can't align my text:

Quote:

---

mmm slfjsdflkj
lmm sdlfjsdflk
lll sdfkljsdflj
mlm sdlkfjsfj

---

and my goal is:

Code:

---

mmm slfjsdflkj
lmm sdlfjsdflk
lll sdfkljsdflj
mlm sdlkfjsfj

---

but i don't want to use Courier New. The '\t' isn't working for an unknown reason.
Someone told me i should set something for tab. I don't know what, help :(

maybe this is what you are looking for

i have to write this to a listbox.
i can't use TabbedTextOut() with a listbox, only somewhere in a window...

Hey Salem, this topic is about ListBox Child Window, and that one was about tabs, so don't say i'm crossposting!

Ok I looked it up.
You have to create the listbox with the style LBS_USETABSTOPS and send the message LB_SETTABSTOPS. Hope that helps
