navigating thru controls in a dialog with TAB key

[arroso]

Hi everybody,
I'll like to know the requirements for me to navigate thru the controls of a dialog by TAB key.
Actually I have a dialog created with CreateDialogParam
All useful controls have the WS_TABSTOP set
The behaviour I got is a cursor stuck on the first control and unresponsive TAB key.

Any hint?
Thanks in advance

You need to add IsDialogMessage into your message-loop (after GetMessage) :wink

To tab through your edit boxes

In WinMain proc
replace :

.while TRUE
   invoke GetMessage,addr msg,NULL,0,0
     .BREAK .if !eax
   invoke TranslateMessage,addr msg
   invoke DispatchMessage,addr msg
.endw

with :

.WHILE TRUE
   invoke GetMessage, ADDR msg,NULL,0,0
   .BREAK .IF (!eax)
   invoke IsDialogMessage, hWnd, ADDR msg
   .IF (!eax)
      invoke TranslateMessage,addr msg
      invoke DispatchMessage,addr msg
   .ENDIF
.ENDW

You also have to adjust the settings of Tabstop (true) and Tabindex (#)
