Eric Brunel is right in that a Listbox won't provide
any builtin help for this kind of things.
Suppose you can afford a width of 10 chars. Suppose
your lines are stored in the variable Lines - a
sequence. Suppose you use a font with fixed width (the
width occupied by "i" is the same like for "m").

That's my output:
