PRB: Cannot Cycle Through Pageframe Controls with Tab Key

ID: Q248147


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0


SYMPTOMS

When tabbing through the controls on a pageframe with the TabStop property of the pageframe set to false, you cannot reach the first control by pressing tab on the last control. You have to press Shift + Tab keys to get back to the first control.


RESOLUTION

Include the following code in the LostFocus event of the last control:


This.Parent.controlname.SetFocus 


MORE INFORMATION

Using the arrow keys to move between objects on the pageframe produces the same behavior.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Place a pageframe on a form.


  2. Place at least two text boxes and two command buttons on any page of the pageframe.


  3. Change the TabStop property of the pageframe to .f.


  4. Run the form.


  5. Click on first control and tab through until you have reached the last control.


  6. Pressing tab again does not bring focus to the first control.
