Keyboard Issue

[NonExisto]

I''ve been studing a common samples of Essential Tools (VS.NET Demo) when I saw following issue:

When child frame contains TabControl (i.e. like a StartPage) all keyboard input is somehow intercepted by TabControl. Wherefor if user tries to use keyboard to navigate menu, he fails.

Is there any way to solve this problem? (Essential Studio 3.2.1.0 on .Net 1.1+SP1 )

Hi Dmitriy,

I loaded the sample on my system and tested for this problem and was unable to reproduce it. Are you using Windows XP? If not, please let me know and I''ll test the sample on a different operating system. Any other relevant information about your system would help as well. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Gregory.

I''m using wXP+SP2(build in) and proplem still apear on my desktop. So let me explain it step by step.

Well I lunch the application and press and resease ALT key (to highlight main menu). Then I use a arrows to navigate menu like this: down, right, right, down, down.. When menu loses input.

I don''t think it''s a TabControl on StartPage the problem reproduced on C# file child frame just the same.
