The default would be fine, but with doing onKeyDown events for other things, I just want the default behaviour reinstated. Of course, if I could exchange default Tab behaviour for default Control-Tab behaviour that would be great, too. Then I can allow inserting tabs within a multi-line EditText control using just the Tab key and move from one control to the next using Control-Tab, the exact opposite of what MS Word does in tables. It just seems more intuitive to me to use a key qualifier for the 'bigger' behaviour. Actually, now that I think about it, it might be better to handle changing focus with Shift-Arrow keys. That would give me two dimensions of movement with a single paradym. Hmmm... Guess I should go do some more work on my design spec. > For example, I'd like to add a routine to the library so that an application > can > alter the tabbing order. Anything that increases the flexibility of the library is a good idea. In my original plan for this app, this would have come in handy, so I'm sure there are other cases where it still would. In fact, this app is going to have several different windows and it might still come in handy for one of the others. I haven't nailed down the design spec as yet, so I don't know for sure. I don't suppose this tab reordering feature will be in Tuesday's release, will it? -Ron T. PS: BTW, I've just become a published author! I know that mentioning it here is tantamount to spamming, but I'm so excited about this. Check it out at: www.actiontales.com/titles.html
