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
