Here are two ways:

1. Tell the listbox to use a fixed pitch font and use spaces to align your
   columns in the listbox text.  See below for how to tell a control to use
   a specific font.

2. Use the LBS_USETABSTOPS style for the listbox, use tabs to do column
   alignment and use the LB_SETTABSTOPS message to tell the listbox where
   to put the tab stop.

Send the WM_SETFONT message to the control with the handle of the desired
font as wParam -- for example, to set a control (IDLIST) to use the system
fixed pitch font do the following:

   SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg, IDLIST, WM_SETFONT,
                      (WPARAM) GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT),
                      0L);
