Hello, 1) The default behavior for tabbing is the TAB key. If you want to control the order of tabbing between controls, you would set the tabIndex of the control. To disable tabbing, set the control's tabEnabled property to false.
2) You can trap most keys with an eventListener for the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event. There are a lot of examples in the help docs. Unfortunately, you are going to run into a problem with the function keys that the browser uses. IE receives notification of the keyboard event before Flex does. By the time Flex traps the event; IE has already performed a function. To my knowledge, there isn't a current workaround. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "hans73it" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm working on the porting of an Oracle Forms application to Flex. > My customer wants the same keyboard functionalities of the old > application and i've some problems: > 1) I've to implement my focus management using the TAB and SHIFT+TAB > keys.
