In response to your question about column positioning of
text in list controls w.r.t variable width fonts.
I had the same problem and ended up resorting to the
owner draw list box control. There, your application does the
text drawing in response to the WM_DRAWITEM (?) message.
You can then use TextOut and SetTextAlign (?) to align your
listing text in column format with variable sized font -- you
can even select a different font to TextOut if that suits
you too. I don't have my manuals here at work so the above
names may not be exactly right, but hey, you get the idea....
Hope this helps
