A better solution would be to turn on LBS_MULTICOLUMN for your listbox.
Then you can send it a LB_SETTABSTOPS message with an array of tab stops
such as {100,150,220}.  When you add a string to your listbox just add
tabs in the string (sprintf(AddString,"%s\x09%s\x09%s",Name,AreaCode,Phone))
and send them off!  You'll have to expiriment with the tab stops, but it
will turn out quite nice.  And you won't have to worry about modifying
the ListBox class...
