Winforms Label Text property not displaying \t tab character

Question

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?

Answer 1

Nothing, windows forms labels are very limited in functionality and don't support the \t character.

A (slightly awkward) alternative might be:

label1.Text = "test\ting\t123".Replace("\t","    ");
