Hi,
I'm having some issues with the text alignment in one of my Listboxes due to using HTML to change the color properties of each individual string. I was wondering if there's anything that I could do to fix the problem and have the letters alligne just like the first Listbox(left)?
I've tried to change the Listbox font but with no effect. I am positive that the reason why the lettes dont align is because of the HTML line/code implemented to charge the string property, since once I remove the code or not use it(as shown in figure 1, left) the letters allign properly.
Thank you
code used to for string color manipulation:
line = sprintf('<HTML><BODY bgcolor="transparent" text="blue" >%s',line);

str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="monospace">%s', str);
You can get the font name of the listbox explicitly:
FontName = get(ListBoxHandle, 'FontName');
str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="%s">%s', FontName, str);
Btw, using the symbol "line" as name of a variable shadows the built-in function with the same name.
[EDITED] In HTML several neighboring spaces are displayed as one space. Therefore try this to convert the string:
str = strrep(str, ' ', '&ampnbsp;');
str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="monospace">%s', str);
PS. Creating the string "&ampnbsp;" is not trivial in the forum, because this is displayed as non-braking space. Therefore I had to escape the & by using the HTML special character.

Jan, I've tried your first method before posting my issue and it did not work.
I've tried your second method and it did not work either. I know it might sound strange but I think it has something to do with the HTML color changing text rather than the displayed text. As long as I dont HTML edit the code everything is fine.
Any other sugestions? Thank you
