Two small problems relating to Listboxes in VB6

1) How do I copy an item from the list box when selecting
a particular entry

2) How do I set tab stops when adding fields to the list
box.



Your help is greatly appreciated

You don't tab through items in a listbox and therefore there
are no 'tab stops'

Copy to where?
You can get the items text using combobox.text

You send it the LB_SETTABSTOPS with a pointer to an array of tabstop
positions.

You can find full information on the message in MSDN.
