Re: Moving focus between fields
Can't you just set the traversal of all other objects to false? This will prevent the other objects from receiving the focus, which is what tabbing actually does. An easy way to accomplish this is to show all hidden objects on a card, enable select grouped controls, select all, pull up the property inspector, turn off traversal, select only the objects in your group, turn on traversal, hide objects again. As with all my advice, use at your own peril. :-) Bob On Jan 23, 2013, at 4:50 AM, Lars Brehmer wrote: > I want the tab key to move the cursor between the fields of a group. > > I want to restrict this action to that group.

Re: Moving focus between fields
Hi. The old fashioned way is to place a tabKey handler in the last (frontmost, so tab order hits it last) field of the group, and focus explicitly on the first one. Watch you layers, especially when grouping objects, but if you name your fields, this will not be an issue. Cannot help with the dictionary.No idea about that.

Moving focus between fields
I want the tab key to move the cursor between the fields of a group. I want to restrict this action to that group. Furthermore, when the focus is on the last field in the group, I want the tab key to return the focus to the first field of the group. At first, with the focus on the last field, the tab key focused on a field in a hidden group. Hitting the tab key multiple times eventually returns the focus to the first field in the desired group. However, if I turn the focusable of all hidden fields off and try again, the tab key in the last field does not return the focus to the first field. And repeatedly hitting the tab key never brings the focus back to the first field in the group. What am I missing here? By the way - I usually solve most problems by studying the relevant entries in the the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn't work anymore, that is the dictionary appears with no content/entries? How can I get my dictionary back?
