Tab order between panels

Hi all,

I have a form with multiple text boxes in different panels. What I need to do is be able to tab to a text box on a different panel.

I already googled it, but there is not much help.

Thanks.

this should be no problem

assume there are 2 panels on the form with both 2 textboxes

panel1.TabIndex = 1
panel2.TabIndex = 2

textBox1.TabIndex = 1 (on panel 1)
textBox2.TabIndex = 2 (on panel 1)
textBox3.TabIndex = 1 (on panel 2)
textBox4.TabIndex = 2 (on panel 2)


when you press tab, it will go from textBox1 --> textBox2 --> textBox3 and finally textBox4

dannystommen,

Thank you for replying. What I was trying to do is tab as follows.

textBox1.TabIndex = 1 (on panel 1)
textBox3.TabIndex = 1 (on panel 2)
textBox2.TabIndex = 2 (on panel 1)
textBox4.TabIndex = 2 (on panel 2)

As textBox1 on panel1 and textBox3 on panel2 were lined up one below the other. The same applied to the other two boxes....well, my textboxes.

I moved all the text boxes to one panel and it's doing what I wanted to do.

Thanks.
