The main key list control in the Pageant window was previously an
ordinary LBS_HASSTRINGS list box, with tab characters aligning the
various parts of the key information into different columns. This was
fragile because any mistake in the font metrics could have overflowed
a tab stop and forced the text to move on to the next one.
Now I've switched the list box into LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED mode, which
means that in place of a string for each list item I store a struct of
my choice, and I have to draw the list-box entries myself by
responding to WM_DRAWITEM. So now I'm drawing each component of the
key information as a separate call to ExtTextOut (plus one
TabbedTextOut to put the '(encrypted)' suffix on the end), which means
that the tab stops are now guaranteed to appear where I tell them to.
No functional change, for the moment: this is pure refactoring. As
closely as I can tell, the appearance of the list box is
pixel-for-pixel what it was before this commit. But it opens the door
for two further improvements (neither one done in this commit): I can
dynamically choose the tab stop locations based on querying the text
metrics of the strings that will actually need to fit in the columns,
and also, whatever reorganisation I need to do to make certificates
fit sensibly in this list box can now be done without worrying about
breaking anything terribly fragile.
