Mike, in the yet to be released versions of Win32lib and IDE this works fine.
Since you are forced to use the IDEWin32lib until these versions are released, I
suspect that win32lib did not support tabbing very well.

You can change the order of the controls, and hence the tab order, by going up
to the MenuBar and clicking Generate Tools and MenuItem Change Control Order For
Program. This doesn't affect the layout of the controls are in the Window.
