Hi Everyone,

Can someone show me please how I can display 2 line to in a List box?

I can do the Chr(10) & chr(13) but when it is added to the list some of the top and bottom of the text is missing (it looks like the list section has not expanded enough to allow the 2 lines see example)

I suggest this page from italian wiki:

   ListBox con due o più righe per item - Gambas-it.org - Wikipedia

 Thanks vuott I shall try that in the morning.

Hi Everyone,

Thank-you to everyone who has given me advice on this issues

As you can see it works perfectly now

All I need to do is work out how to have spaces working

example

Dataline 1______________________________Message
Dataline 2
Dataline 3 This is longer __________________Message

the __ is the number of spaces needed to align the Message section

Code (gambas)

1.    
2. sitem#1 = "Amount"    
3. sitem#2 = "102.65"
4.  sItem#1 & Space(30 - Len(sItem#1)) &  sItem#2"]

Thanks grayghost4 do I need to change the font to a mono spaced one for that to work?

You can also use :

Returns a new string that left-aligns the characters in the original string by padding them on the right with a specified string pattern, for a specified total length.
<LIST>

• <LI>String is the string to pad.
  Length is the final length in UTF-8 characters.
  Pad is the string pattern used for padding. By default, a space is used.</LI>

</LIST>

See also: String.PadLeft

… and if you like the thrill of external functions:

do you know how quick it would be to try it for yourself and see?

I had a long post typed up in response to his post….. about strings or numbers and weather the numbers had decimals in them and weather the strings had multiple lines and weather posting to the screen or a printer that used postscript or a simple POS printer and several other things that I can't remember now …

and it ended with   "Trial and Error"

and then I deleted it …. anyone posting here should have enough experience with programing that I don't need to tell them any of that  

PS. and I may return and delete this post also

This one works perfectly once I changed the font to Courier 10 Pitch (as that is a monospaced font)

Thanks everyone who help with this.
