New Tabbing Functionality in IDL 6.2 [message #45189]

Folks,

RSI changed the way tab characters are handled in IDL 6.2
and I find them both better (they don't yelp at me when I
hit the tab key) and worse (they don't do what I want them
to do) on my Windows machine. In particular, I had a widget
program that could capture the tab character in a text widget
and then "tab" to some other widget of my choosing. The nice
thing about this was that I could choose the "tab order".

With the change, the tab characters never get sent to my
event handlers so I am forced to use an IDL-preferred ordering
system. Even worse, I can't jump that tab out of one base
and over into another. I tab the text widgets in one base
over and over again. :-(

Does anyone know a way out of this jam?

Cheers,

David
