Hi Jim:
The Windows control-tab command is suppose to read the TabList Labels only,
cycles through them.
Clicking one of them brings up that TabPage and displays the controls on
that tab page.
The tab control then moves through the items like TextBoxes and buttons on
the TabPage.
In WE the Control-tab control tabs through all the controls on a tab page
unless you cycle through everything and can find and click a diferent tab
item.
 This is incorrect behavior according to the Windows Control-Tab navigation
key combo and I consider it a bug in WindowEyes.
I don't know exactly what to do since this is  a control I may use
frequently, is complex to design and implement but a really nice control for
blind users when the control reads properly as it does with another reader I
have ended up using for testing and setup.
This Form uses dynamic multi-layer DataBase selection based on available
Providers and loads the proper ConnectionObject based on the
DBProviderFactory objects for SQL Compact, Express or the full SQL Server.
It also allows a user to select a specific financial services provider and
loads the necessary objects according to the users selection then creates
the database, schema and stores the user settings so they will become the
default settings the next time the user opens the project for production
work.
Thus my reluctance to ReDesign and ReBuild the form in some other manner.
The Tabs on the Setup Form sofar:
Introduction FinancialsProvider DatabaseProvider and Finish
Click intro read the instructions, FinancialsProvider and pick from a list
of available providers like Yahoo Finance or Edgar Online etc... the
DataBase Provider tab brings up a list of DB choices with a true Windows
PropertyGrid control for each database selection as the user arrows up and
down the list or clicks one with the mouse, connection properties and the
finish for review and a button to create the database and save the
selections.
Not something I want to rebuild.
But not something I want to slog through with WindowEyes either.
I am planning another TabControl for a more complicated form to handle
viewing of cumulitiv financial reports with dynamic ratio calculations and
grouped using the tab control which is the natural choice for this type of
report viewing and the absolute best for a blind user if the screen reader
worked properly.
So what are we to do?
Is there a work around or something we can do to get WindowEyes to work
properly?
