This one way you might like to try:
 
  if StandardTabbing then
      ForwardTab = 9
      BackwardTab = 25
  else
      ForwardTab = 25
      BackwardTab = 9
  end if

 . . . 

 elsif iMsg = TVN_KEYDOWN then
        vKey = peek(lParam + 12) --struct tagTVKEYDOWN (WORD wVKey)
        if vKey = ForwardTab then                                  
           SetFocus(futurecontrol) 
        elsif vKey = BackwardTab then  -- should be shift+tab    
           SetFocus(previouscontrol)                             
        end if
 end if

This hightlights the problems of too much hard-coding.
