Problem with Shift-Tab and Custom Usercontrol's

[Tony Mancuso]

Hello,

I have created a Usercontrol that has 3 textboxes in it. On my Form I place
a textbox with Tabindex = 0, then I place my Usercontrol with Tabindex =
1 and then another textbox with Tabindex = 2. If I use the Tab key to navigate
through the form everything is fine, but once you start to use Shift-Tab
the focus always goes to the First textbox in my Usercontrol. I haven't
been able to figure out how to get the focus to go to the Third textbox in
my Usercontrol. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Tony.

Tony,
Here is a dirty one. It works with tab/shift-tab, but there is a hunch, if
the user uses mouse to set the focus:

In the UserControl, add a custom variable property:

Public ShiftTab As Boolean

and in the EnterFocus Event:

Private Sub UserControl_EnterFocus()
If m_blnShiftTab Then
Text3.SetFocus
End If
End Sub


In the form, suppose text1 and text2 are the predecessor and successor control
(in terms of tabIndex):

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
UserControl11.ShiftTab = False
End Sub

Private Sub Text2_GotFocus()
UserControl11.ShiftTab = True
End Sub

This works fine with keyboard, but fails if the user explicitely uses mouse
to set the focus.

HTH, you may need to work further to overcome the mouse-problem
Cheers,
Rohit
