Good point, but I was incorrect in what I described before... :)

The framework I use (Codemine) doesn't actually use the second column of the listbox for the pointer like I said, but only the second column of the array it receives as a parameter. It then places the pointer (second column of the input array) into the List.ItemData property.

It is probably easier to use Courier New 8 for the list than creating a subclass.

Thank you very much for your help.
