Summary:
In Break mode in the Microsoft Visual Basic environment (VB.EXE),
disabling a control or making a control invisible does not shift the
focus to the next control in the tab order. Instead, the focus remains
on the disabled control.
At run time, the focus correctly shifts to the next control in the tab
order.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From the File menu, choose New Project.
2. Place two controls on Form1 (in this example, two command buttons).
3. From the Run menu, choose Start.
4. From the Run menu, choose Break.
5. In the Immediate window, type the following:
Command1.SetFocus
Command1.Enabled = 0
Print Screen.ActiveControl.Caption
The active control will be Command1.
6. From the Run menu, choose Continue.
Note: The disabled control, Command1, will still have the focus. To
shift the focus to the next control in the tab index, press the TAB
key.
If the example code from step 5 above is used at run time, the focus
will correctly shift from Command1 to Command2.
