providing "column spacing" in list boxes

wxPython Users
1

I wish to place multiple items in a listbox and/or text control such
as

CompanyName AccountNo

Meridianhouse 1234
IBM 5678

utilizing '%-13.13s %-4.4s' % (cname,cnum)

both of the above lines have 13 chars, 4 spaces, 4 digits but they don't
line up. Proportional spacing messes it up. Is there a way of either
disabling proportional spacing in the list box (and also in the
wxTextCtrl) or calculating the appropriate spacing based on total
character witdths.

Use a wxListCtrl instead.

You cannot "disable" proportional spacing. You can select a non-proportional
font, such as Courier New, but the RIGHT way to display tabular data is with a
tabular control: a wxListCtrl or a wxGrid. That way, your user can adjust the
column widths to suit his own preferences.

wxGrids are pretty easy to use, and they are extremely flexible.

For reasons yet inexplicable I would like to incorperate
avi files with the program I wrote with wxpython. How
would I go about adding an AVI file to wxpython?

Is it possible? If so how difficult is it? It would spice
up the programme a considerable amount.

Thanks
Arno

Check if PythonTheatre still exists.

Not sure about this, but check out pygame - www.pygame.org.
It's SDL in Python, it's got plenty of AVI related stuff.

Actually I am in the process of writing a very detailed one; mostly
so I can understand the control more completely.
But it's not going to be complete for another week or so, sorry.
