Re: How do I create a textbox in vb that lets you insert tabs? you want to give users the ability to tab between controls AND enter tabs in the Rich Textbox. Fortunately, VB provides the tools for you to do so in the Rich Textbox control's KeyDown() event. As you probably know, the Rich Textbox fires this event when a user presses a key while the control has the focus. Like all KeyDown() events, you can use code to determine which key the user pressed and react accordingly.

Re: How do I create a textbox in vb that lets you insert tabs? In the example below, the Text2 box will accept and hold TAB keystrokes, keeping them in the Text property along with the other entered characters. The Text1 and Text3 boxes will not accept TAB keystrokes. When Text1 and Text3 have the focus, pressing the TAB key changes the focus to the next control in the tab order. 1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default. 2. Add three text boxes (Text1, Text2, and Text3) to Form1. Select the Text2 box and press the F4 key to display the Properties window. Set the MultiLine property of Text2 to True. NOTE: When you press the TAB key, single-line text boxes beep and do not accept the TAB keystroke, but multiLine text boxes do accept TAB keystrokes. 3. Double-click the Text2 box to open the code window. Choose the GotFocus event from the Proc box. Add the following code to the Text2 GotFocus event: Code: Sub Text2_GotFocus () 4. Choose the LostFocus event from the Proc box. Add the following code to the Text2 LostFocus event: Code: Sub Text2_LostFocus () |
