tab focuses on disabled control

[Shashi Sadasivan]

Hi,
I have a 3rd party radio group control rg1, with a yes and a no field in it.
Then there are 2 textbox controls after that. t1 and t2
now on the focus leave event of the rg1 i want to set t1 to disbaled, and t2 enabled if rg1.selectedIndex = 0 (ie yes) and vice versa if 1;
But what happens is that, if rg1.selectedIndex is 0 then on tab event the focus is on t1 but t1 is disabled, so the user has to tab again to move to t2.

I cant use valuChanged or valuChanging event due to the nature of the windows form.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I did that....but my form has a lot other controls, so I want the user to be able to tab back to the previous controls. If i use the leve even to focus on t1 or t2, then the user cannot use the keyboard to go back.....not a possible scenariio in this case

A correctly disabled control is not able to receive a tab-focus.
If your control is still getting focused, it is not actually disabled.

Hi Plater...I thought of the same...
So what i did was i got the ActiveControl as soon as i left focus of my control and did the enabling and disabling...what i did then is to print the name and the text of the active controll...
surprisingly, it gave me the correct controls..but only the text in it. It was not able to get the name of the control.
Very frsutrating that im so close but its not working.
I think i'll make the editValueChangedEvent work on this one, to avoid the UI requirements.
(Sometimes its so weird that the functionality of what the program does is overlooked for the UI)

Well , this time i chaned it to what i was fearing to do so, i put the code into the editValueChanging event.
This time...everything went as normal....but!!!!
im using bindingSource and datatables
The structure of the form -> i have a list of items that can edited (you can also add new items) on the left side of the form (just displaying item numbers 1,2,3,4....n)
When im in adding a new item, everything is good, but when i start clicking diffrent items, the radiogroup control goes whacky, and starts to load its value from the previous row, and if i select to save, it saves it for that specific item...
No clue why it behaves so weird
