I've tried both \9 and \t to print the horizontal tab character in a textbox, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

I know that I always replace tabs with spaces before printing to a textbox.
That probably mean that I never found a better solution !

Hi,

 

the reason for those difficulties is that a textbox does not accept escape sequences. A possible workaround might be the use of a listbox (or tree).

Yes, I suppose I'll have to use spaces, thanks.

Try CTRL + I (the letter after H).  It will be the delimiter for your data if you import it into excel.  CTRL + M is the carriage return.
