Select next control if control is in groupbox?
-
Hi all, I use the following code to select the next control.
private void opdrachtnummerTextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
{
ZakdataDatabase_Insert("Opdrachtnummer", opdrachtnummerTextBox.Text);
SelectNext_control(opdrachtnummerTextBox.Tag.ToString());} }private void SelectNext_control(string t)
{
bool isNextControl = false;
int TagToFind = (int.Parse(t));
do
{
TagToFind++;
foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
if ((c.Tag != null)&&(c.Visible=true))
{
if (c.Tag.ToString() == TagToFind.ToString())
{
isNextControl = true;
c.Select();
}
}
}
if (TagToFind > 102) break;
} while (!isNextControl);
}All controls are tagged with an incremented number. What to do if the next control is in a groupBox? Thanks, Groover.

If it is in a groupbox, then you have to recursively search into each container control - which would also cover panels and so forth. But why not do it the easy way? Put the next control reference into the tag directly, instead of a number?

To put the next control reference into the tag directly, instead of a number cannot be done because e.g the third control can be a listbox and the Visualibility property of other controls an groupBoxes depend on the selection in the listbox or checkboxes. Can I use the TabIndex instead? Thanks, Groover.

I think we need some basic information here: 1. are all Controls in the GroupBox of the same Type ? If so, what Type ? If they are all the same type, why not just manipulate the TabIndex property, and let the Tab key do the work for you. 2. Have you considered the implications that a GroupBox has no 'TabStop property ? (hint: probably none !). Note that a Panel has a 'TabStop property. Run-time behavior (tabbing between Controls in a GroupBox will work as expected). 3. are Controls added at run-time to this GroupBox ? Since the last control added will have the highest TabIndex (and assuming TabStop set to 'true, and that it has a 'TabStop propery: what's the problem here. 4 issue of nested-containers as raised by OriginalGriff: if you have properly adjusted the TabIndex: I see no reason for a recursive descent here: tabbing from one Panel to another and, within the second Panel, "into a third Panel:" is no problem. So, I think to really understand if you have a unique problem here, we need to know much more about your UI structure, and the way you intend use of the Tab key to work. best, Bill
