QUESTION:
I have a text object in a multi-tab page view. I changed the standard Edit object to cDbRichEdit object. Now, if I press Control+Tab to enter a tab character, it moves to the next 'Tab Page'. Why is that happening?
ANSWER:
CTRL+TAB should produce the tab in your rich edit control and it will IF the rich edit control is not on a tab page. That's because CTRL+TAB is also a shortcut for switching between tab pages.
You should see the same behavior if you use a dbEdit control.
If you need to override the default behavior, you can add this single line of code to your cdbRichEdit object:
On_Key KEY_CTRL+KEY_TAB Send Default_Key
WORKAROUND:
You can enter a tab character in a rich edit control from the keyboard by holding down the (left) Alt key and type 0 0 0 9 on the numeric keypad.
