Hello,

Is there a way to use the tab key in either a List box or a Text box to create "column" widths in WinCC Pro?  I am trying to fill a list using VB with text that has different amount of characters in each line and I would like to organize them in columns using either the List box or Text box, see example below...

I have tried using vbTab and Chr(9) and neither work.

1  NAME XXXXXXXX          XXX         XXX

2  NAME XXXXX                 XXX         XXX

Thanks,

Hi masmith1553

If you put the mouse on text and press key the tab will be inserted in your text

 schufri,

Thank you for the information.  I need to be able to do this using vb.  See code below as example.

Dim tag, i

Set tag = ScreenItems("Mulitiple line text_1")

For i = 1 To 84

tag.Text = vbTab & i & vbTab & SmartTags("Analog.Name").Value & vbCrLf

Next

 Thank you,
