Shortcut Key Of Controls In SSTab

A SSTab control has 5 tabs. Assume that Tab1 & Tab2 have a CheckBox each & the shortcut key for both the CheckBoxes is, say, Alt+M (using & in the Caption property of the CheckBoxes).

Irrespective of which tab I am currently in, keeping Alt+M on the keyboard pressed alternates the focus between the 2 CheckBoxes but I want that when I am in Tab1, pressing Alt+M on the keyboard (or keeping it pressed) should only shift the focus on the CheckBox that resides in Tab1. Similarly, when I am in Tab2, pressing Alt+M on the keyboard (or keeping it pressed) should only shift the focus on the CheckBox that resides in Tab2.

How do I accomplish this?

The fact is there are so many controls in the 5 tabs that I am finding it difficult to assign a unique shortcut key to each of them.

Use the form's keypress event?

Then check which tab has focus...

But how do I check which tab has the focus in the Form's KeyPress event?

This will display the selected tab index.

Code:

---

MsgBox tb.SelectedItem.index
