useTabs

Type: Boolean

Availability: Read or write at any time

The useTabs property of the JadeTextEdit control specifies whether tabs are used in the text editor to indent the lines to the next indent position.

The default value is true; that is, indentation is created by inserting a tab character to the next indent position. Set this property to false if you want indentation created by using space characters.

To replace all indentation in the text editor control with spaces only or with a combination of tabs and spaces, call the convertIndentWhitespace method.
