Hello,

I created a text area, and I need to insert a TAB (in text area) and not sending focus to the next field.
How can I modify behaviour of TAB keyboard button?

Thank you!

Solved!
I putted the event on rawKeyDown argKey and used the following code:

Code: Select all

if argKey is 65289 then
   put tab before char (word 2 of the selectedChunk) of field "fldMain"
end if

Please note that field "fldMain" is field where I need to intercept TAB.

if you set the tabstop property to any value (on the table tab of the inspector) then tab entry works as expected.
