ActiveX control and tabbing

Hello All,

I have created an activex control that is based on a dialog box. This activex control is a form with edit boxes, list boxes...
that the user can tab between. The tabbing behavior works perfectly in several containers that I have tested it within. However, when I
insert this activex control into labview the tabbing doesn't work properly. When I press the tab key the ActiveX control gets the focus
rectangle drawn around it and sets the focus to the first control in the activex control. When I press the tab key again, instead of going
to the next control in the activex, it goes to the next control on the front panel.

I have set the KeyFocus property to True and have modified the front panel settings to override the system default function keys and it
still doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

ActiveX is a grandchild window of front panel. You're trying to tab through different windows.

You might try ctrl-↓. It works for cluster elements. Not sure if it works for ActiveX or not.
