Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to create a ListBox that displays items with tab characters.
private:
void CreateTabStopList()
{
ListBox^ listBox1 = gcnew ListBox;
listBox1->SetBounds( 20, 20, 100, 100 );
for ( int x = 1; x < 20; x++ )
{
listBox1->Items->Add( String::Concat( "Item\t", x ) );
}
listBox1->UseTabStops = true;
this->Controls->Add( listBox1 );
}
private void CreateTabStopList()
{
ListBox listBox1 = new ListBox();
listBox1.SetBounds(20,20,100,100);
for(int x = 1; x < 20;x++)
{
listBox1.Items.Add("Item\t" + x.ToString());
}
// Make the ListBox display tabs within each item.
listBox1.UseTabStops = true;
this.Controls.Add(listBox1);
}
Private Sub CreateTabStopList()
Dim listBox1 As New ListBox()
listBox1.SetBounds(20, 20, 100, 100)
Dim x As Integer
For x = 1 To 19
listBox1.Items.Add(("Item" + ControlChars.Tab + x.ToString()))
Next x
' Make the ListBox display tabs within each item.
listBox1.UseTabStops = True
Me.Controls.Add(listBox1)
End Sub
