I'd like to give users rudimentary formatting cability in a memo field by
allowing them the build pseudo bullets using tabs. How can I capture say
CTRL TAB to allow them to insert a tab into the memo text? Thanks in advance
for any assistance.

You can insert a Tab, but a standard TextBox is unable to display it. If
you capture the keystroke and enter a bunch of spaces you could (sort of)
fake the same appearance.

I had considered your approach but wasn't aware a text box can't display a
tab. Now, capturing a single keystroke is easy enough, but how does one
capture a key combination like ALT TAB or CTRL TAB?
