Tab Ordering of GUI Controls

Hi all,


Is there a way that you can set the tab ordering of the GUI controls on a specific window?

It would be easier if there was a setting to achieve this in the Visual Studio 6 Resource Editor, however an API to do it is also fine :)

Thanks

Edit:

Just to clarify im when i mean tab ordering i mean which control is next selected when you press the tab button on the keyboard. Im not talking about the tab component that shows different windows


Edit (again):

I've just noticed that you can change the tab ordering by selecting "tab order" from the layout menu. However once I change the tab ordering and compile + run the program it still doesnt allow any kind of tabbing :(

I assume you're talking about dialogs? I recall having this problem before, I believe you have to exclude dialog messages from your message loop:

Code:

---

MSG Message;
while(GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0))
{
        if(!IsDialogMessage(GetActiveWindow(), &Message))
        {
                TranslateMessage(&Message);
                DispatchMessage(&Message);
        }
}

works perfectly, thank you very much :)
