   Hello,
Another TabControl Problem -
I'm using tabcontrol insertitem with with external form, when current focus is at tabcontrol, I can't using "Tab" key to move to controls in child form - this is a big problem for users used to using Keyboard.
Any advice except telling me "better to put all control in the same form as TabControl"? (sorry I have to use external form )
Thank you very much,

	Hello, How about to use UserControls? just convert external forms to UserControls and tab will work.

	Seems it's not the VB problem. You can test it in the suitepro TabManager sample, maybe I didn't describe it clear. Please see image below, when the current focus is in Tab control, then I cant navigate to controls in tab client without a MOUSE click. Any idea?
