I'm using an array as a control. I have things set up almost perfectly, except for one thing: I want to customize how the application handles tabbing through the elements of the array. Rather than dealing with the Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down sequences to go into or out of the array, I'd like simply hitting Tab to ignore the outer array and go straight to the first element; hitting it again will go to the next element; and so on.
I handled this for clusters by getting references to the controls in the cluster and setting the focus to the next control, but this doesn't work with arrays. (Each element of the array has the same reference.) However, LabVIEW clearly has some way of setting the focus to a particular element, since it does so when you use the up and down arrows.
So my question is this: how can I programmatically set the focus to a particular element of an array? I've considered sending LabVIEW the appropriate keystrokes (e.g., Ctrl-down, several down-array keystrokes, and then Ctrl-down again), but that seems clunky. Is that my only option, or is there a more elegant method to give an element the focus directly?
