how to set the tab order for the UI controls in win 32?
- by Rakesh
hello all I have a small dialog which I created dynamically, which has a textbox and a button..if the user presses the TAB key it has to switch between the two control(textbox and button)...I tried using SetwindowPos...but it doesnt seem to solve my problem...please give me a solution for this..in the below code..I also tried to include the mainwindow in the taborder..still it doesnt work
//dialog creation
HWND dialogHandle = CreateWindowEx(0,WC_DIALOG,L"Security Alert",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,600,300,280,160,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
//create textboxcontrol within the dialog
HWND textBoxHandle = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,L"EDIT",L"",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE |ES_PASSWORD | WS_TABSTOP,123,48,110,25,dialogHandle,(HMENU)IDD_TEXTBOX,NULL,NULL);
//create button
HWND buttonHandle = CreateWindowEx(NULL,L"Button",L"OK",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE| WS_TABSTOP,151,85,85,25,dialogHandle,(HMENU)ID_PASSWORD_OK,NULL,NULL);
//setwindowpos
SetWindowPos(NULL,textBoxHandle,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
SetWindowPos(textBoxHandle,buttonHandle,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
