Setting a textfield to readonly breaks the tab-order (Sample project attached to feedback case).

  1. Add 4 textfields to a new project
  2. Set the 3rd textfield to readonly
  3. run the project and hit tab-key to forward focus from field to field
  4. Note that focus cannot advance beyond the readonly field
  5. Not that when the field is set to readonly=false, then focus advances as expected

Expected Result:
focus advances to the next field in taborder

Actual Result:
focus jumps back to the first field in taborder

Tested and confirmed here too.

You want to set TextField3.TabStop to False when you set ReadOnly to True, and the problem no longer manifests.

Maybe that should be automatic ?

Ah, I was not aware of this one. Thanks a lot!

Now I added a computed property ‘ReadOnly’ to my subclassed textfield and the setter method goes like this:

Set mReadOnly = value TextField(Me).ReadOnly = value Me.TabStop=Not value End Set

Now this seems to work as expected.
