Dim listy As ListItem

For Each listy In ListView1.ListItems
Debug.Print listy; Tab(34);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(1))) / 2); listy.ListSubItems(1); Tab(38);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(2))) / 2); listy.ListSubItems(2); Tab(41);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(3))); listy.ListSubItems(3); Tab(51);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(4))); listy.ListSubItems(4)
Next
 
no dubt!
Stringm you are a genius!

OPS...

possible to print also a header title of each column of listview , to the head of row?
 
[tt][pre] Dim listy As ListItem

With ListView1
Debug.Print .ColumnHeaders(1); Tab(34);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(2))) / 2); .ColumnHeaders(2); Tab(38);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(3))) / 2); .ColumnHeaders(3); Tab(41);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(4))); .ColumnHeaders(4); Tab(51);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(5))); .ColumnHeaders(5)
End With


For Each listy In ListView1.ListItems
Debug.Print listy; Tab(34);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(1))) / 2); listy.ListSubItems(1); Tab(38);
Debug.Print Spc((3 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(2))) / 2); listy.ListSubItems(2); Tab(41);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(3))); listy.ListSubItems(3); Tab(51);
Debug.Print Spc(10 - Len(listy.ListSubItems(4))); listy.ListSubItems(4)
Next[/pre][/tt]
 
Instead of ListView, I would be tempted to do it with MSFlexGrid (or MSHFlexGrid) instead.

Myself, I like to use a screwdriver from time to time when screws are used, or a wrench when nuts and bolts are involved. :)

I don't disagree, Andy. But why - in this specific case - do you think an MSFlexgrid would be a better choice?
 
MSFlexgrid may not be a 'better' choice, just a different approach to display the data for the user to choose from. And there are a lot of help on the Web of how to use it.

I can have to the left, of printer.print, this value:

strvar="PAGAMENTO ELETTRONICO:"
or
strvar="PAGAMENTO CONTANTI:"
or
strvar="RESTO:"

ecc...

and a var strnumber="0,25"

the max leght of string, to print, is 60.

now, based the strvar, i need to printer.print, similar:

strvar<(align to the left) strnumber<(to align to the right)

naturally strnumber have a variable lenght(11,58, 5,48, 650,45 ...ecc)

how to?




 
Hard to decipher your requirements, but my guess would be:

Code:
Const MAX_LENGTH As Integer = 60
Dim strvar As String
Dim strnumber As String

strvar = "RESTO:"
strnumber = "0,25"
 
Debug.Print strnumber & Space(MAX_LENGTH - (Len(strvar) + Len(strnumber))) & strvar

To get as an outcome:[blue]
[pre]0,25 RESTO:[/pre][/blue]

Andy, tks.
but i need eaxclly the opposite:

RESTO: 0,25
 
Swap it around:

Code:
Debug.Print strvar & Space(MAX_LENGTH - (Len(strvar) + Len(strnumber))) & strnumber

Or

Code:
Debug.Print strvar & Format(strnumber, String(MAX_LENGTH - Len(strvar), "@"))
 
andy & strongm...

POSSIBLE to print this lines in listbox... instaed to send a printer

...
Printer.Print .ColumnHeaders(1).Text; Tab(34);
Printer.Print Spc((3 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(2).Text)) / 2); .ColumnHeaders(2).Text; Tab(38);
Printer.Print Spc((3 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(3).Text)) / 2); .ColumnHeaders(3).Text; Tab(41);
Printer.Print Spc(10 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(4).Text)); .ColumnHeaders(4).Text; Tab(51);
Printer.Print Spc(10 - Len(.ColumnHeaders(5).Text)); .ColumnHeaders(5).Text

Is that a question? If so, yes, you can send to a printer instead. Need to finish with Printer.EndDoc
