Changing Tab Order Programmatically

[BiswaR]

Hi Guys, Is there any way to change the tab orders for a controls programmatically.

SetWindowPos Use wndTop for the first control, and the previous window for the remaining. "My dog worries about the economy. Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost seven dollars in dog money" - Wacky humour found in a business magazine

I think you could try this: 1- Destroy all the controls you want to set the tab-order of. 2- Create them again in the order in which you would like the tab-order. this is this.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :omg: :omg: :omg: Use SetWindowPos to change the Z-Order - TAB order int he dialog merely follows the controls' Z-Order. People that start writing code immediately are programmers (or hackers), people that ask questions first are Software Engineers - Graham Shanks

You have probably tested this technique, and I haven't tested my ideas, so I guess you are right. Thanks for the correction. this is this.

Yes, it works well. When you create a control on the fly, you can also use SetWindowPos to 'insert' it into a specific tab order. You method will work, it is just overkill.

Yes, I also tested my idea yesterday, and it works. But as you said, it is just overkill. SetWindowPos() is much easier and simpler. this is this.
