arranging line or text in a listbox

[bomayed]

I'm using the following command to add lines to a list box


list1.additem 1 & "USER NAME" & "DEPARTMENT" & "THE DATE"

Now I want the user name and the department name to appear justified, example:

I don't want it to look like :



1-FIRST NAME HERE DEPARTMENT HERE

2-SECOND NAME HERE DEPARTMENT HERE

3-THIRD NAME HERE DEPARTMENT HERE


I want the line to look like


1-FIRST NAME HERE ---------------DEPARTMENT HERE

2-SECOND NAME HERE -------------DEPARTMENT HERE

3-THIRD NAME HERE----------------DEPARTMENT HERE



got my point? now can you help lol

the vbTab command should provide this.

List1.additem 1 & "USER NAME" & vbTab & "DEPARTMENT" & vbTab "THE DATE"

You might want to consider using a listview rather than a listbox. The listview will give you the data in columns and that allows for resizing of the columns and sorting if you wish.

Thanks Paralinx

Can you guys also tell me how do I break the line ? like pressing Enter using something like vbtap or so?

vbcrlf - vb carriage return(goto next line) line feed(go to the beginning of the line)
