VFP6 - disable TAB control on a pageframe 2

[eric43]

I have a page which has a complex set of option controls which can be addressed in any order eg when option 1 is chosen a second option is enabled ( one of a number of possibilities )- how can I disable the TAB control?

Thanks

Eric

Could you clarify please - do you mean the TAB key on the keyboard or the page of the pageframe?

Set TabStop = .F. in the form.

Mike's suggestion will eliminate the use of the TAB key for moving from form field to field.

But it sounds as though you really want each variable field to control the access permission to other variable fields.

From your question, I am not certain if your "options" are Textboxes, CheckBoxes, OptionGroups, etc. But the following would, in general, apply to all.

Why don't use use the Valid Method of the individual variable fields to set/re-set the Enable property for these other variable fields?

* --- In the CheckBox 1 Valid Method ---
IF This.Value = 1
   * --- Checked ---
   ThisForm.Check2.Enabled = .F.
   ThisForm.Check3.Enabled = .T.
   ThisForm.Check4.Enabled = .F.
   ThisForm.Text1.Enabled = .F.
   ThisForm.Text2.Enabled = .T.
ELSE
   * --- Not Checked ---
   ThisForm.Check2.Enabled = .T.
   ThisForm.Check3.Enabled = .F.
   ThisForm.Check4.Enabled = .T.
   ThisForm.Text1.Enabled = .T.
   ThisForm.Text2.Enabled = .T.
ENDIF

In this way a form field setting may allow or dis-allow the user access into other associated form fields.
And, no matter if the TAB key (TabStop) was set .T. or .F. the access would apply.

You can expand this approach to analyze the status of multiple form field settings and use DO CASE/ENDCASE on various combinations of settings to make similar Enabled settings.

Good Luck,
