I can understand that. I am going to hazard a guess that firing an event and setting the value of the keycode to the TAB key likely is only useful for any code that Handles such a keystroke... it won't actually invoke the Tab keypress event in and of itself. Course, this is just a guess, I don't know and I'm not going to spend the time right now to try to do it myself. It is interesting and I would like to know the truth myself, it just sucks how time is so rare, I wish I had a lot more of it :(
Hopefully you can make the design so it can nicely keep track of what widgets are where or just do a search to find the next one. I'm sure you can do it without too much work. gl :) On Jun 14, 9:48 pm, Se Hee Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your input. > > Yes.
