disable tabbing in my app

[Jason Badon]

Hello all,

I am tiring to disable tabs in my app. Is this possible? I have about 12 frames with three option buttons in each. when I tab through the window it tabs to the first frame first option and sets it true the goes to the next frame and so on until al I am doing is tabbing through the options that are set true. Any help appreciated?

If I haven't provided enough info. please let me know..

Thanks,
Jason

If any of the controls have a tabstop property,then set this to false.

This should stop them being on the tab list. But I don't know if this will be applicable to all your controls.

I also thought setting the tabstops to false would work but I set all the tabstop to false and it's still the same?

Why would you want to disable tabbing? It's a lot faster then usign the mouse most of the time.

I have 12 frames with 3 option buttons in each.

example:
all values are set to false at run.
frame1 tabindex 1
frame1.option1 tabindex 2
frame1.option2 tabindex 3
frame1.option3 tabindex 4

frame2 tabindex 5
frame2.option5 tabindex 6
frame2.option6 tabindex 7
frame2.option7 tabindex 8

when I open the app. and tab it goes to frame1.option1 and sets it to TRUE when I tab again it goes to frame2.option5 and sets it to TRUE if I keep tabbing after that it will just go from frame2.option5 to frame1.option1

I can't figure out what I could do to get it tab through the options without setting them true.

Well, if you give all the radio buttons in one frame the same name, then it only tabs to one of them.

Eg Frame1

opt1(1)
opt1(2)
opt1(3)

frame2
opt2(1)
opt2(2)
opt2(3)

etc
