# Handling the Tab Key

Learn how you customize the use of the Tab key to control its default behavior. Learn more in documentation.

## Content

You can customize the use of the Tab key. By default the user can press the Tab key to advance the focus to the next active cell. You can turn off this behavior so that the component does not pay attention to the Tab key being pressed. To control this behavior, set the [ProcessTab](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.ProcessTab.html) property of the [FpSpread](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.html) class.

## Using Code

Use the [ProcessTab](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.ProcessTab.html) property.

## Example

Set the [ProcessTab](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.ProcessTab.html) property.

```csharp
FpSpread1.ProcessTab = false;
```
