Public Property AcceptsTab As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false

true if users can enter tabs in a memo editor using the TAB key; false if pressing the TAB key moves focus to another control.

Remarks

Use the AcceptsTab property to control the ability of a user to insert tab characters into memo editor text.

When this property is false (the default behavior), pressing the TAB key within a memo editor moves focus to the next control (according to the tab order). It is possible, however, to insert tab characters into the memo editor’s text via code by adding/inserting the “\t” string (C#) to the BaseEdit.Text property.

Set the AcceptsTab property to true to allow users to enter TAB characters( to align the memo editor’s text). If this property is true , users can tab into the memo edit control, but cannot tab out.

Assigning a new value to AcceptsTab at runtime raises the RepositoryItem.PropertiesChanged event.
