Best way to enable Ctrl-Tab for standard Tab control?

[jacQues]

I've got an AU3 that works fine, but I noticed that the keys Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab behave just as if Ctrl wasn't pressed. E.G. focus moved to the next control instead of the next TabItem.

So now my question as to how best to make Ctrl-Tab work the way it works in standard Windows software. I can see a few options, but neither work and/or appeal to me.

a) Use a Style or Extended Style code. I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Use GUIGetMsg(). There is no direct event for Ctrl-Tab...I think.

c) Use GUIRegisterMsg(). Never used this and "looks scary".

d) Use HotKeySet(). Very messy solution IMHO.

Maybe I missed something and its very simple to do. lol I'm an amateur when it comes to AutoIt, so all input is welcome.

Take a look at _GUICtrlTabSetCurFocus ()...

Had same problem. Just waited such amount - Sleep(100)

Just in case there's something else, you didn't show us how you're using Send. I've seen people try

Send("{CTRL}{TAB}") which is press Ctrl, let go of Ctrl, press Tab, let go of Tab key.

So if that is what you've done you need

Send("^{TAB}")

or

Send("^+{TAB}")
