I've got a program I've been working on which I've been requested to 'neaten up' tabbing on.
The program was built to hold multiple separate portions of what was once a paper form. The way I built it, to accomodate what I thought I needed, is giving me a few problems trying to determine how to set up my tab order.
Layout is as follows:
Tabbing sequence requests -
I can handle the tabbing between items inside any given segment; where I really think I need help is setting up the appropriate tabbing between segments.
I need to be able to tab from any Middle segment to Right segment.
Need to be able to tab from right segment to bottom or middle segment, based on which middle segment is showing. (From right to middle for any Ti, from right to bottom for Tii).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the appropriate way to set up my tab ordering might be, or is this going to be something I simply have to figure out myself?

Layout is as follows:
Code:
Top segment - single information textbox.
Six swappable 'Middle' segments, five of one type (call it Ti) and one of another (Tii).
Layout -
Middle segment Ti - six panels
Panel 1 - single checkbox
Panels 2,3,4 - checklist box and (sometimes) text box. (Left/Middle/Right layout - tabbing should be in that order)
Panel 5 - Either blank, an additional checklist box, or three text boxes.
Panel 6 - Single Memo field.
Middle segment Tii -
Two main panels-
Panel 1 - Additional panel with three read-only text boxes (never supposed to gain focus) and a semi-locked radiogroup component. (Again, never supposed to take focus. Set by code elsewhere.)
Panel 2 - Memo field.
Right segment - contains two buttons. Button.onclick for both used to swap back and forth between visible middle segments.
Bottom segment - contains two buttons.
