So if you were to edit Tab Order from the form level, it would be
something like a tree? You could re-order siblings, but their children
go along with the parent.
Yep. I think the VFP way is fine: view tab order in whatever container
is active. So, if you do it on the Form, you get to change the tab order
among the various panels. From the panel, you can change it among the
panel's objects.
I'm thinking of possibly implementing a Dabo-level tabbing manager
to replace the wxPython one, whose quirks (panel dependence, for one)
can be frustrating. If it was implemented at the form level, pressing
the tab key would result in the form setting focus to the next object in
its tab order, no matter what container it was in. At the Designer
level, you could specify the ordering of just the focusable (is that a
word?) controls.
As long as the form tab order thingie (is that a word?) doesn't keep me
from being able to define and save a panel class with tab order set, and
then it just works when added to the form...
