Alas, alas! I have created a TabCtrl with Dialogs (WS_CHILD) in it. Some items in the dialog have the WS_TABSTOP option set, but they won't get focused, when the tab-key is pressed. I've tried to catch the WM_KEYDOWN message in all dialogs including the main-dialog with the TabCtrl to track down where they get posted to, but no success.

I assume i have to use the SetWindowLong-function, but had no luck yet either. What do i have to consider in such a case (TabCtrl Dialog with dialogs) to get the WS_TABSTOP-thing to work? Thank you.

it seems child dialogs do not have WS_TABSTOP set, thus do not ever focused by tab-key. controls on them are child of the child. never tried such combination, just can suggest to subclass tab control, and catch, if tab there pressed - set focus to current child dialog (or it current item)

Hm. That's a mess. I can't catch the tab (09h) either. I believe i have screwed up my windows procedure a bit and am telling windows that i've handled all the messages.

This is the source for the Main-Proc. I believe the error must be "spawned" somewhere in this part. I've translated the main-comments into english. Thank you for the help!
Code:
proc MainDialogProc hwnddlg,msg,wparam,lparam
        push    ebx esi edi
        cmp     [msg],WM_INITDIALOG

i see i'm not ready to give you fast solution, but you will not definetely cath tab or enter there in this way. there are some ways to do this:
1.subclass tabcontrol with procedure, which will detect tab pressing within it and notify parent window about it.
look there: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4786
2.try to use PropertySheet api function
3.also look there for another way to do this: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4359 for examples.
i had improoved dialog engine used in setup box example, but it is not ready to be posted yet.

kasake36,

Try modifying your message loop to include IsDialogMessage. This may be all you need to do to support tabbing. This is my "standard" message loop I use even when I don't want to tab between window controls.

Code:
        .while TRUE
                invoke GetMessage, msg, NULL, 0, 0
                .if eax, e, 0
                        jmp     @f
                .endif
                invoke  TranslateAccelerator, [gWnd], [hAccel], msg
                .if     eax, e, 0
                        invoke  IsDialogMessage, [gWnd], msg
                        .if eax, e, 0
                                invoke TranslateMessage, msg
                                invoke DispatchMessage, msg
                        .endif
                .endif
        .endw
@@:
        mov     eax, [msg.wParam]
        invoke  ExitProcess, eax
    


hth,

farrier

kasake36,

Attached is a small program with a window, and in that window are a number of different controls made with CreateWindow, and you can see how the tab key can be used to navigate from one to the other.

Shoorick and farrier: thanks for the fast replies. I already knew the threads but i hoped that there's an easier way to make this work (soo naive Wink.

So i'll first try to include the IsDialogMessage and if all fails drown myself or change the TabCtrl with a PropertySheet. I'll report back then! (Tomorrow)
Thanks for the example-code!!

HELLO!! EUPHORIA!! Yes, there was an easier way to make tab-controls work in child-windows: using WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT for the child-dialogs! That's it!

I found out by reading the CreateWindowEx info in the Win32API-Help, and it says: "Allows the user to navigate among the child windows of the window by using the TAB key."

Thanks for all the kind help!!
