How to set TAB stops in the ADE - Version 8.2 and Above
Editor TAB stops are used by the Procedure Editor and the UIB's
Section Editor. They determine where the cursor lands when you hit
the TAB key, as well as how far text gets indented when you hightlight
a line, right-click to bring up the pop-up menu, and select Format
Selection->Indent.
The default setting for TAB stops is 4 spaces, but this value can be
changed via the registry or the ini file.
If your session uses the registry, you can set the TAB stops as
follows:
Create a ProADE key, then within that key, create a EditorTabStop
string value setting and give it a numeric character indicating the
desired TAB stop spacing (e.g,"2").
If your session uses an ini file, use the EditorTabStop setting in
the ProADE section. In the standard progress.ini that ships with the
product, this setting is commented out:
[ProADE]
;EditorTabStop=4
Uncomment the line with the EditorTabStop setting, and set it to a
numeric value indicating the desired tab stop spacing.
