windows Text and lining up columns

[DarkAlchemist]

Back when all fonts were fixed at 8x8 you could use a simple formula saying if you wanted your 2nd column to line up at position 40 it was simple to for (int x = 0; x < 39; x++) print[space]

Now that we have true type fonts how do you implement that so at position 40 (regardless of the font used) column 2 will always be there? Trying the above will get you to char 40 which could be anywheres based on the chars that preceeded it.

I hope I have asked this well enough to get an answer as I am stuck.

I believe, in order to show a great tabulated test you should use list views instead of drawing the text manually. Use a separated list view item for each tab iteration.

Poor little thing, but you have to do that.

Poor little, heh. Have a good link to read up on list views? MSDN was a bit over powering.

I believe there are some links like:
codeguru.com

Many links find on google.com
