Randall Thurman Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Just to be able to line up columns in a string without the need of a table or multi-column list box. Padding with spaces helps but does not give consistent results. Yea there is probably a list of reason why we don't have this yet. Yet this would make a few tasks much easier. What do you think?

The spacing (position) of charcters within a string is dependent on the font selected. If you use a fixed width font then the lining up of the columns will be fine (as you are no doubt aware). Fonts and LV suck big time anyway so unfortunately I think this might be a big wish! Note, you can use the number to string functions and pass the "width" of the formatted output just as if you were in a text based language too. As you say, you can use a multicolumn box and if you use the "classic" controls it is relatively easy to hide all the decals. Quote Link to comment
