Tab Traversal Issues

[nightfire8199]

Hey guys, new to wxWidgets and encountering an odd problem.

I have a Panel with a series of sizers within it, and within them a series of controls. wxTAB_TRAVERSAL is set as the window style on the Panel. When I attempt to use the tab traversal in my running application it consistently tabs forward two controls (every other one). Meaning, if I start with focus on the first control, it will tab to the third. If I start with focus on the second, it will move focus to the third.

I'm certain this is a trivial problem to solve, but I'm too new to be able to know where I should be looking. Is there any place you guys can think of where this behavior might be being introduced?

What type of controls are they? Can you post the code that generates the controls?

Check that the parent of the controls is correct.

Hi,
How did you create the controls?
Make sure you create them in the same sequence as you want them to appear in the tab order.

Thank you.

It is a series of combo boxes, they seem to be in the right order. I named them alphabetically just to be sure

The odd part is that it isn't just visiting them in the wrong order, it is always skipping every other control. Due to the number of controls I have, this means that if I start on an even numbered positioned control, it will never land on an odd placement one. It just continuously cycles across the evens. The same is true if I start on an odd placed one, it never hits an even. I'm not sure what is causing it to always move forward two controls in the tab order.

...Here is the code:

Code: Select all

wxGridSizer* gSizer8;
gSizer8 = new wxGridSizer( 0, 3, 0, 0 );
	
m_comboBox_A = new wxComboBox( sbSizer1->GetStaticBox(), wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0, NULL, wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER ); 
gSizer8->Add( m_comboBox_XVar, 0, wxALL|wxEXPAND, 5 );
	
m_comboBox_B = new wxComboBox( sbSizer1->GetStaticBox(), wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0, NULL, wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER );

You're using "sbSizer1->GetStaticBox()" as parent everywhere, but you're putting the controls into "gSizer8". One of them must be wrong.
