    Default misalignment of list items

    Hello All,

    My code reads like this. I have used the AWT
    list l = new List(50, true);
    add(list);
    --
    ---
     
    --
    for (int i =0; int i < cnt; i++)
    l.add( name[i] + "    " + initial[i] + "   " + address[i] +"    "+ .............);
    }
    My problem is when it displays the list, the items alignment is lost. Each field displays at different location in due to the different sizes of the previous field. like below

    George verky Ganeshmandhir
    Ram Goenka location1

    Can anyone suggest how to fix the problem.

    thanks

    If I understand the problem correctly you can display the data in a JTable and the alignment will be specified by the table itself
