By it's very nature, a listbox is made to choose items from one or more
'separate' lines.
i.e. an item cannot span 2 lines...this would defeat the purpose of a
listbox. Hence the -justify command is not an option as might occur in a
label, text or entry widget.
I assume you want to have the listbox items piled against the 'right' side
of the listbox, because I can't figure out any other reason why you would
want to do this?
Funny, you would figure a well-placed -anchor=>'e' would work, but it
doesn't?
The below is a sample script as to how a listbox handles long lines, and
hence why the -justify command doen't work.
### --perl-- #################
use strict;
use Tk;
my $test="This is a very long line to put in a listbox
So we throw in a couple of cr's to see
what happens when you insert this into a listbox";
my $top=MainWindow->new();
my $slb=$top->Scrolled('Listbox')->pack();
my $lb=$slb->Subwidget('listbox');
$lb->insert('end',$test);
MainLoop;

Subject: Justifying text in a Listbox?
Does anyone know how to justify text in a listbox?
Which file do you hack, and where?
