Hi all,
As you probably know, displaying text data arranged/aligned in straight columns inside the standard vba MsgBox is extremely difficult. I personally have never seen this done before... Calculating the msgbox font size is a nightmare.
Here, I am using a few api-based workarounds to achieve that effect.
Essencially, you simply call the BuildTabFormat routine right before displaying the standard vba MsgBox and voila! ... Very easy to use!
The BuildTabFormat routine takes arguments for displaying the tabular data (either from an excel range or from a 2D array) and an argument to display a small optional description text ... The routine can also allow for optionally changing the text color and the spacing between the columns.
Another cool thing is that when the data is too large, the MsgBox automatically diplays vertical and/or horizonatl scrollbars so the user can navigate the entire data.
Please, note that although the code subclasses the MsgBox, It should be safe and stable.
I hope you find this useful.
