How to align the text of a Listbox to the right

[Sori Schwimmer]

For a listbox, I would give a width and go with string
formatting. In your case, I guess that what I'll do is
to limit the width to something acceptable, and show
only the tail of the line.

Say, your width is w, then I'll show only the last w-4
chars, preceded by '... ' (ellipsis+space). It might
be nice to put a label on top of your listbox and
dynamically change it's text attribute to the complete
version of your selection in the listbox, broken in
lines of appropriate length.

Hope this helps,
Sorin Schwimmer

Yeah, but what is the question?

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to do. Do you know a way to
accomplish that? Because Eric Brunel said it is impossible on a
Listbox.
Thanks to everybody,

Use a string slice.
