Hey Friends,

I am facing very strange but simple to understand problem with Borland C++. I have some screens in DLL. I invoke them from EXE. Those forms are MDI children. I am able to show them and achieve the functionality.

The problem is tab order does not work at all. Users cannot move from one field to another by pressing tab key. It is ridiculous problem. Only way tab order works in when I make forms in DLL of normal style and show them modal. This is not what I want and it hurts functionality of the project. On Borland site there is no solution for this problem and in this group also nobody had already discussed it. So please help me out.

Found better solution at last.

Checking option - "Build with runtime packages" in the DLL.

This way you don't need to write any extra code for handling tab orders.

Have fun,
