Greetings, I'm looking at some custom controls developed by another guy who's very busy, and I have the task of figuring out what's wrong with tabbing behavior on a complex form with custom controls. What's happening is that when a control (say, a text box) has focus, and I tab out of it, unexpected controls receive the focus. This is complicated by the fact that the common controls are hosted inside a user control which contains a panel, on which the child controls are hosted (this aids immensely at design time in the Forms Designer).
What I see, specifically, is this: the first attempt to tab out of the child text control fails -- focus is set back to the text control. The second time, focus goes to the next control in tab order. The third time, focus goes to the following control in tab order. And so on, until focus comes all the way around the tab order back to the original control. Has anybody seen this kind of behavior before? I can send along a screen shot from Spy++ if necessary. Thank you in advance, Jim Galasyn You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
