I’m trying to get distinct columns for objects in my combo box so that when you open it out it appears like such:
Item1Name Item1Score
Item2Name Item2Score
Item3Name Item3Score
and so on…
The combobox is populated by objects consisting of a name and score property.
At the moment i’m using the combobox labelFunction() method to add tabspaces between the two properties. This works somewhat apart from the names vary in number of characters greatly (to a maximum of 26) so although I achieve columns they do not all align correctly:
Item1NameLong Item1Score
Item2Name Item2Score
Item3Name Item3Score
and so on…
I’ve tried a few other cheap methods around this; like checking the lengths of the strings which doesnt work due to characters of different sizes (upper and lower case…).
I noticed that you can access the comboBox textField property so I also tried to define my own tabStops using a textFormat property and applying it to the textField but I couldn’t get this to work - I may have been doing it wrong though.
Anyone got any suggestions?? Thanks
