Tab between control on a child form

[vickerps]

Anyone know of a way to give focus to a child gui form for the purpose of tabing between controls?

Any help would be appreciated

Ok think i solved my own problem

$F = GuiCreate('',$fW,$fh,$fx,$fy,$WS_Popup,$WS_EX_MDICHILD,$Form)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but @vickerps, did this wind up working for you? I have my child form centered and when I applied the MDICHILD extension it loses its vertical centering but retains its horizontal center.

Does anyone have a good solution for being able to tab through a child form?

@ericbartha as you yourself seem to realize, there is little point in resurrecting a thread after almost 4 years. The language has progressed just a bit in that time. If you have a question, you are much more likely to get assistance by following this format:

• Start a new topic of your own rather than resurrecting someone else's problem.
• Give a detailed description of what problem you are facing, what you have tried, and where you're stuck.
• Post code 
• If you feel this, or another, dead post speaks to what you're trying to do, explain that in your post and link to this one for reference.
