I have a form with 5+ textbox controls all of them tabindexed in the order. These controls are bound to a datasource in the program. Using a currencymanager an addnew is done to get the new values from the form. What I noticed is that after entering value on the first textbox, when the tab is pressed, the control is not moving to the second textbox, but one more tap on the tab moves it. This is causing the current list item to have a null value for the field even though on the form value is entered on the control. This is causing the endedit of the datarowview of the currencymanger to fail.

If I enter some more data on the textbox after the tab failed to move to the next control, this error is mysteriously disappeared!

Anyone has experienced this problem? Any possible reasons for why the tab press is not moving the control to the next box?

Thanks

Thanks Li,

There was some problem with TabStop. Initially it was set to yes..that was causing the probleem..now it is gone..thanks

Hi anandnairv,

Could you please provide a code snippet? From my experience, the root cause of your issue is mostly related to the data validation. When you press a Tab, the typed text would be pushed back to the data source. If this fail, it would keep focus on the current TextBox and do not move to the next TextBox.

Best regards,
Aland Li
