The TIWSmoothLabel conponent has a TabStop at runtime, but no such property at designtime. When the user tabs through the form all tabbing stops when it reaches an IWSmoothLabel. At least in IW10 D2010 it does.
Is that intentional behavior? If so, can you make the TabOrder and TabStop properties public? If not, what am I doing wrong?
I have not been able to reproduce this issue, when tested in IE9, FF4, Chrome 10 or Safari 5.
Does this also occur when you're using only a TIWSmoothLabel control with no other controls on the form?
However it's a good suggestion to make the TabOrder and TabStop properties public, and I'll investigate if it's possible to include this in a future version of the control.
The only other variable is that it was nested inside two regions. I was trying to have a region with a header. I put a small region inside a larer one, and aligned it alTop. I put the smooth label inside the smaller region to be the header caption.
I had labels and controls in the remaining part of the larger region. The tab order of those fields was altered by the SmoothLabel, It would take the third tab position no matter what I did. I replaced it with an IWLabel and the tab order was resotred. The edits were data ware, just so you know,
It could have been a problem in conjunction with with some other control. I have moved past it, but I thought you migh want to know in case you hear it again.
