Tab through option group

Hi

My users have asked it I can change the function behind some key. - Disable
the left/right/up/down key whilst they are in an option goup. The reason for
this is once you tab into the group hitting any key with action the
AfterUpdate event.

Basically they want to use the keyboard to move around the option group with
the left/right key then hit the enter key to action the AfterUpdate event.

Any ideas

Wayne,

In my test here, I created a couple of text boxes and a group with
three options. I did not make any custom modifications to any of the
properties of the form or any of the controls. I did set the tab order
of the details area of the form. When I tab from a text box to the
group control, I can immediately use the arrow keys to move between
the options in the group. The left and right keys act as you would
expect them to, moving the focus from left to right or right to left.
The up and down keys also move the focus from option to option. The up
arrow acts just like the left arrow and the down arrow act just like
the right arrow.

I may be missing something but the functionality you describe as the
desired functionality by your users is actually the devalut
funcationality that is there when these objects are created.

Hope this helps.

Mr. B
