I cant get basic tab order to work in a desktop app im working on. It sgot the usual 6 or 7 textfields a DateTime picker, 3 non default buttons at the bottom right and a few other controls. I have set the taborder via the IDE button and arranged them how I want the order to go - basically left to right, top to bottom. Then, in the open event of the window, I have a ‘textfield.SetFocus’ on the field I want it to start at but it doesnt do that. I’ve tried all sorts of things to get it to start the application with the focus where i want it but to no success. I must be missing something simple? If I hit Tab, it goes to 1, 2, and then for a split second to 3 but then jumps all the way to 35 which is one of the buttons that is also set to no tab stop in the inspector and is at the bottom of the tabOrder dialog list…anyone know what Im doing wronf for such a simple thing?
