TextBox.TabKeyBehavior Property (Outlook Forms Script)

  • Article

Returns or sets a Boolean that specifies whether tabs are allowed in the edit region. Read/write.

Syntax

expression .TabKeyBehavior

expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.

Remarks

True if pressing TAB inserts a tab character in the edit region. False if pressing TAB moves the focus to the next object in the tab order (default).

The TabKeyBehavior and MultiLine properties are closely related. The values described above only apply if MultiLine is True. If MultiLine is False, pressing TAB always moves the focus to the next control in the tab order regardless of the value of TabKeyBehavior.

The effect of pressing CTRL+TAB also depends on the value of MultiLine. If MultiLine is True, pressing CTRL+TAB creates a new line regardless of the value of TabKeyBehavior. If MultiLine is False, pressing CTRL+TAB has no effect.
