I found a quick (and dirty?) fix to this problem: In 'onKeyDown' handler method of my custom slidebar I do Selection.setFocus(this) at the end (surrounded by an if() checking whether the pressed key was one of UP,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT). This seems to override the default focus associated action for the arrow keys.
As far as I can see, the only restriction introduced by this solution is that one cannot navigate through the tabEnabled controls anymore using the arrow keys. But I believe the TAB / SHIFT+TAB keys are sufficient for this. HTH, stefan. On 12/5/06, Dave Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

How would you prevent the left/right arrow keys from moving the focus away from the current slider to the next/previous item in tab order?
