Suppose I have 20 gadgets on my form.
How can I re-arrange the order so that
when I press the 'Tab' key, the focus
shifts to the gadget I desire?

Pressing TAB will go to the next gadget in the tab list, and the list
is sorted according to the order in which the gadgets are created.

Hi Paul,
You mis-understood.
I know that's what happens. I want to know if
there is a command I'm unaware of that will
*change* this order, much like you can in most
languages. (Windows calls this 'Z-Order')
You could have tens of controls on form, and it
can be cumbersome to go back and change this
after you're deep into a project, especially if
Procedures are involved.
I might have to look into the API SendMessage
command.

To stop an individual gadget receiving the focus, you can do this:
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0,100,150,400,200,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"Test")
CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
ButtonGadget(1,20,20,180,20,"Button 1")
ButtonGadget(2,20,60,180,20,"Button 2")
ButtonGadget(3,20,90,180,20,"Button 3")
ActivateGadget(1)
Repeat
ev=WaitWindowEvent()
; Next line stops button 2 from ever receiving the focus.
If GetFocus_()=GadgetID(2) : ActivateGadget(3) : EndIf
Until ev=#PB_EventCloseWindow
EndIf
