Last reviewed: May 6, 1996
Article ID: Q150239

The information in this article applies to:

Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

A Microsoft Visual Basic program contains an Option button that is set to True at runtime. However, the program is designed so a user cannot get to the Option Button by using the Tab key. For this condition to occur, the TabStop property of the Option button is set to False and the Value property is set to True at design time. When running the program, you can tab to the Option button.

CAUSE

The TabStop property is changed to True at run-time.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

Set the TabStop property to False in the LostFocus event of each option button.
