Tab Stops in Dialog List Box Properties

[wiland]

In the Styles tab of the Dialog List Box Properties is an optionthat allows using tabstops in strings that are written to the list box. The description in "Help" states:

Use tabstops - Allows a list box to recognize and expand tab characters when drawing its strings. The default tab positions are 32 dialog box units (DLUs). Type: Bool. Default: False.

Can anyone tell me how to change the default tab positions? Is there some Dialog control that does this?

You have to send it LB_SETTABSTOPS message. See herefor an example. Note that you will have to experiment a little with values of tab stop positions as they're expressed in DLU-s; best, use char(9)//"|"//char(9)//"|"... as a test string.
