Moving between text-entry widgets... [message #15949]

I have several IDL appliations I am building, each of which has
multiple data-entry fields. For smiplicity, I am bulding the
data-entry screens using the CW_FORM function. Most of the data
fields are for entering integers, but some are button groups.

Unfortunatley, using the mouse to go between these fields is a royal
pain, especially durring debugging.

The Question: What is the easiest way to setup the TAB-key on the
keyborad to go between data fields? (and smilarly, Shift-Tab to go
backwards through the fields). I am not overly attached to the
Compount Widgets built into IDL (yet), so if it is easier to re-build
my widgets using objects, I can do this to make the additin of the
TAB-key to switch between fields easier.

I would appreciate any tips.

Please respond via email when possible to dmorris@ball.com.
