The hotkeys don't work, and that is a bug. I tested a version of 7.1 and it wasn't fixed there either, though I'm testing what is on my home machine which is beta. The key focus properties do work as does tabbing once you are inside the subPanel. In my opinion, the hotkeys will always be a bit dicey since you can now easily have multiple destinations for the same key. That isn't why this wasn't finished, but even when it works, it will always cause trouble with hot keys. My workaround, though not that elegant would be to scan the Controls[] looking for ones with Keynav values. Remember who they are and what key they were assigned, then in the host, you register for keys, decide who gets them, and set the Key Focus property to True. It will take a bit of programming to make it general, but then you could use it for lots of situations. To do this one-off for a single or small set of subpanels, make offscreen controls that mirror the hotkey settings and when they get focus, they kick it to the subpanel versions of themselves. Definitely not elegant, but quick in a pinch. Greg McKaskle
