How to control Tabs - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by MJA - Belgium

I would like to control tabbing.
If the user presses the TAB key between character position 0 to 5, the caret must go to character position 5 else TAB must be processed normally.
How can I implement this behavior ?

You'd probably have to create a class that inherits SyntaxEditor and override ProcessCmdKey. If you handle the tab then return true. Otherwise, call the base method.
