Is this a bug?

Great!
Is this good for both console and gui edit-text?

sprintf is generating a formatted string that can be used in any UI environment.

Yes Nicola,

But with GUI edit boxes showing aligned data, you will need to set a monospaced typeface like "Courier" or "Lucida Console"

Code: [Select]

...
  function SetFont(sys *hwnd,n,height,width,weight,string fontname) as sys
  ========================================================================
  indexbase 1
  sys hFont,i
  hfont=CreateFont( height,width,0,0,weight,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,fontname)
  int i
  for i=1 to n
    SendMessage hwnd(i),WM_SETFONT,hfont,0
  next
  return hFont
  end function
...

    hFont=SetFont(hchw[1],6,13,9,400,"Lucida console")

I tend to use grid controls for formatted columns of data in a GUI environment using the controls alignment properties to do the work.
