Okay, Lets say I have a window in my interface where someone has to input a bunch of information is it possible to simulate a tab function where by pressing tab you can change the mouse focus onto the next form? Thank you

You can make a built-in macro through your skin file and macro TAB to a command, such as "cycle-tabs", and then make the command "cycle-tabs" perform that task for you.

Okay, Thats what I was thinking, but in my code what would i do to get the focus to change from tab to another.

*Edit*

Scratch That. I believe I found a way. Maybe a bit crude but hopefully it would work. If you know of a better work around please let me know.

Why are you 'afraid' of that?
If you get stuck trying to solve the problem again, let me know.

Thanks, the software I am working on just has a lot of forms to fill in for information, and I was simply expression the joy of non auto tabbing.
