EditBox:OnTabPressed()

You can only append or prepend a tab no matter what. I don't think there's a way to insert a tab at the cursor position, unless there's a function that will get the position of the cursor. Egingell 09:27, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Possible for inserting a tab character("\t")?

EditBox:SetScript("OnTabPressed", function()
 this:SetText(this:GetText().."\t");
end;

-- As documented by egingell

OnTabPressed event, insert an indent with:

EditBox:Insert("    "); (4 spaces)

This will insert 4 spaces at your cursor's position. A tab character or \t will not work, therefore spaces are used.
