GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("This is supposed to be here                   34", $a)
GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("This isn't supposed to be here               21", $a)
GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("This is not  supposed to be here            1", $a)
GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("This is supposed to fly                            2", $a)
Guisetstate()
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Is there a way I could organize the stuff on the right to make it aligned? In my real script I'm making a list of controls such as Ctrl + E or Ctrl + S and it looks horrible when it's not aligned...

I think you need 2 paces for each letter. So You have to align the stuff by tabbing and then add 2 spaces for each letter missing in the shortest texts

tab 34

tab 21

tab space space 1

tab space space 2
