This should be very simple.
I have a Label control on my Form and I am trying to put a tab character between text
Label.Text = "Is there a\ttab";
The output is “Is there atab”;
What am I doing wrong?
Tab is actually a non-printing character—or rather, a control character. What it does is entirely dependent on the application. What exactly do you expect? 8 spaces? 4 spaces? As many spaces as needed to get to a multiple of 8 columns? Indentation of the following text by one cm?
To put it short: The
Labelcontrol doesn’t support tabs. Actually, Label just uses normal graphics routines for rendering its text and how should they know what you intend to do with your tab character?If you need to display that character as a number of spaces, then you should replace it by that number of spaces.
