Tabs in Multilineedit not working

[Norm Goertzen]

I cannot seem to get the tabstops in a MLE working.

I set the tabstop like...
mls_1.tabstop[1] = 8 (this is the default anyway)

I have also tried using the object property setting instead.

I then load the text as...
mle_1.text = 'ABC~tDEF'

And the MLE shows a result of...

ABC
DEF

Can anyone help?

What operating system are you running and which version of PB? There have been
a few posts related tabstops within MLE and PB 8 on Windows 2000.

Can you enter into the MLE the folllowing keystroke sequence:

abc
<shift><tab>
def

just enter abc then press shit-tab key sequence then def

Does that also wrap the text as per your example?

IN code, you can try the following:

IF KeyDown(KeyTab!) THEN
this.ReplaceText("~t")
this.SetFocus()
END IF

For a multiline edit, the key sequence to insert a tab is CTRL-ALT-TAB.

This does not apply to dw columns :-(
