ACCEPTTAB property (Editbox)

Specifies if the EDITBOX control processes a Tab keystroke internally first before passing it onto its parent for processing.

Under normal circumstances tab characters can be entered in the EDITBOX by using the Ctrl-Tab keystroke combination, while single Tab keystrokes are passed to the parent object for further processing, which will normally move the focus to the next control. If ACCEPTTAB is set to TRUE$ then tab characters may be inserted via a single Tab keystroke, and Ctrl-Tab keystrokes will move the input focus instead.

The ACCEPTTAB property is a Boolean value of TRUE$ or FALSE$. If TRUE$ then Tab keystrokes are processed by the EDITBOX control first. The default value is FALSE$.
