Re: Tabbing out of a text field
NVM just read your last sentence. I suppose then that the autoTab property for scrolling fields should be disabled, or invisible in the inspector. No big deal. Bob On Oct 21, 2010, at 4:19 PM, J.

Re: Tabbing out of a text field
Aye, but I was hitting return in an empty scrolling field. Bob On Oct 21, 2010, at 4:19 PM, J.

Well this is interesting: Even if a scrolling field has tab on return set, it inserts a cr when you hit return. On a regular field it tabs.

I am looking at an earlier project that I developed and I have a field that when I press TAB, I am moved on to the next field, just as if I had pressed Return. I see no trapping of the TabKey in that project. What am I missing? Or what should I look for.

Tabbing out of a text field
I am having a bit of a brain fart. How do I set a text field so that when I press the TAB key, it tabs to the next field rather than adding a Tab character to the text field?
