Thanks Brian,

That seems to work just like I hoped it would!  Should make my list-table
much easier.

At first I wasn't sure how it knew how many tab stops were set, 'till I
noticed the numbers between "LB_SETTABSTOPS" and "lpnTabs", which must be
telling it how many (in conjunction with the "array" in memory).

 I did change the listbox widths from 170 to 270 in order to show the full
width of your examples, dunno if that's just my system or what.  Maybe it's
because 'dialog template units' aren't pixels?  Looks to me like
'MapDialogRect' just goes from 'dialog template units' to pixels, when what
would be needed would be the opposite direction, to get correct numbers to
set up tab positions relative to size of listbox in pixels?

Anyway, thanks again for the example, & I'm glad you included how to set it
up for both equally spaced tabs, and multiple different width stops.  That
answered questions before they arose; smart!
