Indent text items in a ListBox

I want to represent a list of items as a heirarchy by,
indenting each item by a set amount depending on its level.
For example level 1 = no spaces, level 1 = 2 spaces etc.

If I try too use leading spaces or tabs to do this the
control removes them. Is there a way to do this?

I am not able to repro that, spaces don't get removed on .NET 1.0,
Windows XP Professional.

Thanks for the reply,

Sorry, I should have included that I want the list to
appear in a Web project ListBox control. The listbox
control in Windows forms will do what I want.
