I have a tab control on a form.&nbsp;&nbsp;The hot keys are not working.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't know if you can use accelerator keys with the tab control or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do I need to use an event procedure in the on key press?<br>Any suggestions?<br>Thanks in advance!
 
There are built in quick keys for thumbing the tabs -- but I can't remember them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ctrl-tab / Shft-Ctrl-tab would be my first shot.&nbsp;&nbsp;Otherwise look it up in the quick keys.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Harry

Sorry, by hot keys I meant accelerator keys.&nbsp;&nbsp;The application that I support has a accelerator key on a tab control.&nbsp;&nbsp;The key is &1, and when you try alt-1, it doesn't work.&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess I was wondering if or why you can't use numbers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also the shift-ctrl-tab does work, thanks!<br><br>I didn't program the tab control, it was already there when I received the application.&nbsp;&nbsp;It does work really well for this particular instance.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't see any other way to design the form, because of the numerous controls needed.<br>Thanks for your help!
