Tab Order and GroupBox Controls 

Keywords:     Tab Order and GroupBox Controls

Question:

I can't seem to get this to work at all. I am using winbatch 2002g. When I compile the script (part that is giving me problems is below), I can't change the Tab Order. I have tried changing the physical order of the dialog control definitions, and also by modifying the Tab Order for each control in the dialog editor. Nothing has worked that I have tried. I would like the frist thing that comes up be sessionmain001. Instead, sessionmain033 is the one that ALWAYS comes in as the first item.

Any help appreciated.

Answer:

The problem is most of the other controls are in groupboxes. The groupbox "owns" all the controls inside of it. And it tends to use the tab order of the groupbox

So step 1 is to set get the tab order straight on the groupboxes and the controls that do not live in a groupbox. After that is worked out, then you can set the tab order within each groupbox.
