O.P. [?] Line breaks in a (Rich)EditControl

How can I make a RichEditControl (or EditControl) which allows the user to enter line breaks and tab indents? So, when the user presses [TAB] in the control, a tab is added.

Anyone knows how?

Already tried, but that would just make the control capable of containing line breaks, not letting the user enter them. :-/

For multiline you must add <WantReturn>true</WantReturn> into the <Attributes> tag of the control.

I knew that had something to do with it... Thank you!

And is there a way to make tabs work?

A tab is usually for switching between controls. CTRL-Tab should be used for a tabular character in controls where you can enter text.

(just as CTRL-enter is usually for a carriage return)
