How to handle taborder with an SSTab object.

I have a form that has an SSTab object on it. When I set the taborder for all of the objects, the form includes all of the tabs. So when you get to the last visible object, and hit tab, the cursor disappers. It comes back after you tab through all of the other tabstops.

I guess the best solution would be if I could make the SStab move to the tab visible if one of the fields was tabbed to (lots of tab words, sorry).

I know I could simply make all of them not be tabstops. I don't like this solution because when the user switches tabs, you want the tab key to work.

Thoughts, or just to confusing a question?

The closest I've ever been able to do is to set up your taborder as though you were going to let the user tab through every control on the form and then make the controls you want out of the order be disabled or hidden.

you can keep all the controls going on to one tab in to a frame and keep the frame on the respective tab and on tab change disable all other frames and enable the frame to be displayed on current tab.

appari is correct. By disabling the frames not in use, you disable all of the controls within those frames... The tabbing has to stay with the enabled controls on the current tab
