Tabbing to Checkboxes
 

I have several checkboxes on a form. I have set the
tabstop property to true, but the checkboxes are not
taking focus when I tab to them.

Is there a way to make them take focus when tabbed to?

Thanks,
Thomas

The tab index property is what you want. In the VB editor
select Properties (F4) and choose the Tab index. The index
starts from zero (the first tab) then increases by one.

Normally the tab index is okay, it is just when you add
another object to the form that the index then becomes in
the wrong order.

Remember to alter any other objects that are affected by
the change.

Thanks Peter.
The tab index works fine, and I am able to enter a
checkbox by pressing the spacebar.
What is not working is that I'm not able to tell which
checkbox I'm on, b/c it won't take any focus.
