>Zakaria,
>I had no luck finding what you were looking for so I tried creating some ustom code. Add this code to the KeyPress event of the textbox control or to your custom textbox usercontrol. It should do what you want it to do. Keep in mind that the code inserts two spaces whenever the TAB key is pressed and not a tab character.

Hello Einar,

As far as I see it works ok I have adjusted your code from spacing 2 to 4.

Thank you very much for your time and solution.
