vb.net Windows Form Tab Key

[vmuntean@ball.com]

Hello,

I've been trying to find an answer to this for quite some time but I
haven't been able to.

I created a vb.net application which it contains a windows form with
several text boxes. I want the user to be able to press the Tab key to
move from textbox to textbox.

I know that in vb6 by setting the tabstop to True and setting the
TabIndex you could do that easily. But this does not seem to work in
vb.net. I tried playing with key events and such but no luck.

Did they remove the user's ability to Tab through text boxes in vb.net
or am I missing something?

Thank you very much,
Vlad

What version of VS do you use,

In VS2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008 I only set the tabindex and it does what it
should do for me, going from index to index when the tab key comes up.

Re: vb.net Windows Form Tab Key

I just checked, and I am not using any keyup, keydown or keypress
events. I am using VS2003 (but I see the same issue with VS2005). What
I am actually doing is creating a SolidWorks add-in. I wonder if that
is the culprit, since I just created a simple project with a form and
it tabbed between the textboxes just fine !?

I also checked and all the settings are identical for the newly
created form not linked to the add-in and the one I am having problems
with.

Thank you,
Vlad
