What is the textual representation of a TAB

i don't know if there is some representation of vbTab but you can use
  more then one times to create tabs

B..M

try using "\t"

Hi there

thanks for the response.

I am coding ASP.NET in VB so the   will not work. Isn't that html coding?

As for the "\t", I tried adding it like so:

strMyString = "Hi there" & "\t" & "Me name is Comatoast"

and the "\t" is represented as a string not an ascii character.

comt00006,

  is the string for a white space in the html
so to represent
This is Experts    Exchange
you have to use
"This is Experts    Exchange"

B..M

Hey that almost sounded like a good idea.

I just tried it and the output was

"This is Experts    Exchange"

the   were represented as strings.

do you encode the output ?
B..M

What do you mean by encode the outpu?

how do you try this? because i've tried this
Response.Write("This is Experts    Exchange");
and it write on the screen exactly what i've told you

I am trying to put text within a ListBox control.

You cannot use the Response object. I just tried it and my code goes like this:

lstMine.Items.Add(Response.Write("Hi there" & "   " & "Comatoast"))

This is an error without even compilling because the ListBox expects a string and does not recognize the Response.Write as a string.

Thanks though.

yes, it will cause an error
actually in listboxcontrol ( wich is rendered as html select ) i thinkg that you CAN NOT add tabs
the browse just trim the white spaces

What about a textBox. Is there a way to output tabs?

Thanks a million
