I was going to cut/ paste direct from my code, but here is a tip that I found at swissdelphicenter.ch

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
  MAX_TABS = 4; // The maximum number of Tabs
  Tab = #9; // ASCII code for TAB
var
  Tabulators: array[0..MAX_TABS] of Integer;
begin
  // Set the Tabulator Widths
  Tabulators[0] := 70;
  Tabulators[1] := 120;
  Tabulators[2] := 100;
  Tabulators[3] := 80;
  Listbox1.TabWidth := 1;
  // Set the Tabulators
  SendMessage(ListBox1.Handle, LB_SETTABSTOPS, MAX_TABS, Longint(@Tabulators));
  // Add some items
  Listbox1.Items.Add('Peter' + Tab + Smith' + Tab + '1234-56' + Tab + 'London');
  Listbox1.Items.Add('Johan' + Tab + 'Jones' + Tab + '123-45' + Tab + 'York');
end;

it works great!! (I would never have guessed!!)
I used it for displaying disk sizes :)
