	Hi, I have two questions, At first. I have troubles when editing a ShapeNode. If I press the TAB key, I get lost the focus. I want to stay on the editor with a printed TAB. In the other hand, I need to add some RichText to the control. I try to add it setting EnableStyledText and PolygonalTextLayout in true, but it only works with pre-charged text, the user don't know HTML tags, so it's unuseful. Is there a toolbar or a workaround to solve this stuff.? Thanks in Advance, Leonardo

	Hi, Handle the EnterInplaceMode event and set the AcceptTabs property to make the textbox accept tabs: Code private void diagramView_EnterInplaceEditMode(object sender, InPlaceEditEventArgs e) { diagramTextBox = (TextBox)e.EditControl; diagramTextBox.AcceptsTab = true; } You could create a user control containing textbox and toolbar for formatting text to use as an editor, and show it from DiagramView.CreateEditControl event handler. You could probably use a RichText control as an editor too, but will have to convert from RTF to HTML format when assigning the node text. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyo, very useful you answer, but... The TAB is working now, but when I get the focus out, the text don't looks like a tabbed one. Please, see the attachment. Thanks

	Hi Leonardo, At this time the control just leaves larger white space for tabs and does not align them in columns. If you need to display tabular data, try using TableNodes. Stoyan
