TabStop Order Confusion

[Bob Cummings]

Greetings

I have a simple form from which I would like the user to make one of two
choices, depending on what I am displaying in a text box. I want the
use to have to make a choice so I have put the two choices in a groupbox
as radio buttons.

The problem is they can tab from radiobutton A to radiobutton B but not
back to radiobutton A. I have set every other control on the form
tabstop property to false and the tabIndex property is not set, except
the two radiobuttons. RadioButton A has a tabIndex value of 1 and
radiobutton has a tab index property of 2.

I was under the impression that if a user had reached the highest
tabIndex value on a windows form the lowest tabIndex value would get
focus. Sort of like a cycle.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and Cheers

Bob

never mind over lunch I was describing the odd behavoir to a co-worker
and he told me I was way off base. The windows standard for radio
buttons is the arrow keys evidently. And that works with out any work
on my part.
