This is going to turn out to be simple, I'm sure, but I couldn't find anything on Google about this. I have a Winforms application that has a textbox. When I hit the TAB key, the cursor is jumping to the next control. What I want instead is for an actual tab (or 4 spaces) to be inserted into my textbox. What property am I missing?

You can press Ctrl+Tab to force an actual tab character being inserted.
If the keyCode is 9 (which is the key code for the tab key), we preventDefault() — this means preventing the browser's default behavior, which is usually leaving the textarea to go to the next element. Now, we use setRangeText() , which allows us to manipulate text in the textarea.
You should set the AcceptsTab property to true on your TextBox. This will insert an actual TAB character.
From the MSDN page:
The Multiline property must also be true to get a TAB character in the control.
If the AcceptsTab property is set to true, the user must press CTRL+TAB to move the focus to the next control in the tab order.
