Got a function where tab stops don't operate if accessed as a user. Whereas if VIP is called, then immediately exited and the function accessed, the tab stops work as expected. Is there a property/switch/ini flag to set these on/off?
Not seen this before - so maybe it's something I'm doing/not doing. Set Enable field Attributes on in the View/Options - but didn't make any difference even after logoff/logon. Donald |

Thanks Chris
That's the switch for Pro IV or Windows tab handling standards (according to the Properties Manual). The problem is that for User access to the runtime system tab goes to the next field NOT the next field flagged with Tab Stop. There must be a setting that remains unset and I don't recall ever setting it before - specifically for tabs anyway. Cheers. |

I cannot comment on the docs, but Chris is correct with his suggestion. Application.tabnavigation is a switch that instruct PROIV to honor the tab key as the enter key. It is turned on by setting Application.tabnavigation = True . I would check your code base to see if you have this line anywhere.

Chris/Darren
Thanks - I was convinced that it wasn't being set - but you were right - it was. Must have accidentally clicked on my settings screen at some point without noticing. Now works like I was expecting. Cheers |
