Hi,

I have a problem with teh AUTOTAB, as I cannot really control it as I thought it is possible.
I have 5 fields that I want to use the tab to have the cursor jumpfrom field to field, but as I have to have the topmost (on-screen) field in teh highest sprite channel and vice versa, the tab jumps in the wrong direciton (from the lower fields up).


Can that be changted - how do i set teh tab myself / catch the key code, etc?

thanks
Nik

You can control the tabbing yourself using the KeyDown event. You must return true at the end of the event so RB doesn't process the TAB itself. The ascii value for tab is 9. So basically what I would do is this :


<code>
Function KeyDown(Key As String) As Boolean
        If Asc(Key) = 9 Then
                NextEditField.SetFocus
                Return True
        Else
                Return False //Let RB handle the key
        End If
End Function
</code>
