Two questions:

Does anyone out there know how to justify text in a list box?  Like this:

------------------------------
|Item one 05/02/91           |    Any suggestions?  My problem is that
|Another item 05/02/91       |    everything is proportianally spaced.
|I wan't this        05/02/91|
|And this            05/02/91|
|                            |
------------------------------

Also, are there any generic routines out there for validating a numeric in
a one line edit window?  If the user enters a non-numeric character, I want
the bad character(s) to be highlighted and the cursor placed at the beginning.
This is a common method used by applications, but I'm not sure of the best
way to do it.

Thanks,
