In the resource file make sure the list box has the LBS_USETABSTOPS style
and then separate the fields in the string with tabs.  I always used the
default tab stops but these can be set by sending the LB_SETTABSTOPS message
to the dialog box.  For information, see the SDK Reference Book 1 page 6-44
and the SDK Reference Book 2 page 8-43.
