so there is no option for alignment of data in columns in listbox.


It's meant as a list. If you try this;
ListBox1.MultiColumn = True
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 40
    ListBox1.Items.Add("Test " & i)
Next i
You'll get a list of multiple items, stacked like this (that's assuming that your list has a height that has enough room for six items);
Test 1  Test 7  Test 13
Test 2  Test 8  Test 14
Test 3  Test 9  Test 15
Test 4  Test 10 Test 16
Test 5  Test 11 Test 17
Test 6  Test 12 Test 18

to add spaces is difficult.


I have made you a short example on that;
    [...]
    ListBox1.MultiColumn = False
    ListBox1.Font = New Font( _
        System.Drawing.FontFamily.GenericMonospace, _
        ListBox1.Font.Size, _
        ListBox1.Font.Style, _
        ListBox1.Font.Unit)
    Dim j As Integer
    For j = 1 To 20
        ListBox1.Items.Add(AsFixedColumnText("Test " & j, 8) & _
                           Space(3) & _
                           AsFixedColumnText(Date.Now(), 8) & _
                           Space(3) & _
                           AsFixedColumnText("Hello", 3))
    Next j

End Sub

Public Function AsFixedColumnText(ByVal text As String, ByVal length As Integer)
    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(text) Then
        Return Space(length)
    Else
        Return (text & Space(length)).Substring(0, length - 1)
    End If
End Function

This should give you an output that's formatted in columns, similar to this;
Test 1    5/7/200   He
Test 2    5/7/200   He
Test 3    5/7/200   He
Test 4    5/7/200   He
Test 5    5/7/200   He
Test 6    5/7/200   He
Test 7    5/7/200   He
Test 8    5/7/200   He
Test 9    5/7/200   He
Test 10   5/7/200   He
Test 11   5/7/200   He
Test 12   5/7/200   He
Test 13   5/7/200   He
Test 14   5/7/200   He
Test 15   5/7/200   He
Test 16   5/7/200   He
Test 17   5/7/200   He
Test 18   5/7/200   He
Test 19   5/7/200   He
Test 20   5/7/200   He

Still, I don't think that this is the ideal solution. Is there any way that you can promote the ListBox to a ListView? Or even a DataGridView?
