I have been looking with no avail at various solutions in the groups
to the problem of capturing the tab keydown while in a certain
controls. I have been trying to capture the tab keydown event but
nothing appears to be happening and it is totally ignored. I really
cannot understand why this is happening - apparently there is
something that must be overridden but im not sure on how this works.

the field in questionis yyn_Weightloss and the code im using is

Private Sub yyn_WeightLoss_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles yyn_WeightLoss.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = 9 Then
MessageBox.Show("tab caught")
fun_TabMoveNext()
Else : Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

I really do not understand why this is happening as other events are
firing correctly such as lostfocus.

Can anyone be of assistance on this issue.

Thanks in advance

You'll need to ask in a .Net group. They all contain "dotnet" or "vsnet"
in their names.

Try overriding ProcessCmdKey in the control where
you want to handle the tab key
