Hello.
[Quoted] [Quoted] I'm trying to emulate a dynamically generated multicolumn (i.e., >2 columns) t-list a la MS Access's multicolumn list box. The two-column limitation of list items means I must find a workaround.
One thought was to make a multi-record block behave like a list item.
The other thought was to make a t-list, set its font to a monospaced font, and dynamically populate the list by concatenating the various "label" columns into one column (each separated by a '|' character, perhaps). Unfortunately, that would mean deviating from the standard variable-width font used in the app.
Any best practices here?
Many thanks,
