Sigh,
I have set tabstop=no for all controls EXCEPT for the Next/Cancel buttons on my
Welcome/Install page
On my EULA/Options page I have set tabstop=no EXCEPT for EULA rich edit/accept
Eula checkbox/ back/Install/Cancel buttons
I have a background and side banner image on my Welcome/Install page
I have a background image and a top banner image on EULA/Options page
When I launch the Bootstrapper as soon as the Welcome/Install page shows up if
I hit the ALT key the controls except for the images go in the background so I
can't see them (all I see is the background image and the side banner image
(which is on top of background)
I am trying to mimic the "look" of our previous version which only was a MSI, I
have the look down pat but the ALT is mucking things up!
Here is my code:

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] alt key in bootstrapper messes up the
foreground/background of controls
This might be implicit in your post, but this is a Windows thing related to
taborder and tabstop. For example if I hit that alt key in IE focus goes to the
File menu and the shortcut letters for each menu choice are highlighted, so
that's the area to investigate, those tab specs in the bootstrapper. There may
be a bug in there somewhere, but doing something with the tabstops might get
you somewhere.
