How do I allow the user to use the Tab key (to insert a Tab) in a
RichTextBox? The sticking point is how to get Tab to generate a KeyDown
event rather than simply moving the focus to the next control.

Hi,
set the AcceptsTab property to true, you will then not tab out of the text
area and a tab will be inserted into the text.

Mark.
