If your editbox.AllowTabs = .t. then anytime the user presses the TAB key the character chr(9) is inserted into the value not 3 spaces.

It's not exactly clear how you are wanting to coordinate a chr(9) embedded in a label to your editbox. Depending on the font selected the chr(9) it will appear as a box character.
