Subject: listbox align right
I have an Access 2003 Form with a listbox that has three columns.  I
know that using a list box like this is not ideal if I want to control
the left-right alignment, however, I am using the method from Stephen
Lebans    http://www.lebans.com/justicombo.htm
and it seems like it will work great, except that I would like to
control the alignment of more than just the first column.  Using
Lebans' code, I cannot figure out how to align each column.  Is there
a way to loop through each column?   I would like to have the first
column right-aligned, the second (middle) column center-aligned and
the third column right-aligned.
Anybody have any ideas for modifying the code.  In the Rowsouce code
below, the True, is used as True / False to set center or left align,
the [code] is the name of the field in the table, List5 is the name of
the listbox, HORTACRAFT is the name of the table.

The listbox has the Rowsource set with this line of code.
SELECT DISTINCTROW JustifyString("frmJustify","List5",[code],0,True)
AS CODENUM, HORTACRAFT.NAME FROM HORTACRAFT;

which calls the Function named "JustifyString" which is below.

' 1) We now call the function with an Optional SubForm parameter. This
is
' the name of the SubForm Control. If you used the Wizard to add the
' SubForm to the main Form then the SubForm control has the same name
as
' the SubForm. But this is not always the case. For the benefit of
those
' lurkers out there<bg> we must remember that the SubForm and the
SubForm
' Control are two seperate entities. It's very straightforward, the
' SubForm Control houses the actual SubForm. Sometimes the have the
same
' name, very confusing, or you can name the Control anything you want!
In
' this case for clarity I changed the name of the SubForm Control to
' SFFrmJustify. Ugh..OK that's not too clear but it's late!
