Hi Staffan
I'm on vacation with little to no Internet. So, if you send me a simple
example that you would like to work, I'll see if I can get it working and
send it back to you next time I stop at a coffee shop with WIFi.
That said, the trouble I usually have when trying these tab stop things is
remembering that the the "tab stop" is the actually character location, not
the difference between the tab stops. I.e., if you want tab stops to be
8, you need to specify them as: 0 8 16 24 32 ...
Also, be aware that tab stops in the controls, edit and list box, are
apparently a hold over from 16-bit windows and don't always work well with
any "Themed" controls. That might be the problem here.
