Is there a setting somewhere in Add-In Express that prevents a user from tabbing between TextBoxes and Buttons?

No matter what I try, it never lets me tab when I'm using an Add-In Express project... but it works fine when I do it on a normal project.

There is nothing I added personally that would prevent me from doing it, so there is something in Add-In Express that prevents tabbing and the enter keys.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 (it did the same thing in 2008), and I'm using the latest version of Add-In Express.

Hi Carl,

Where do you want tabbing? Is it the Ribbon UI? CommandBars?

BTW Could you please specify the build number of Add-in Express you use?

I am using Release 2010.6.4.379.

Also, by Tabbing I meant I wanted to be able to hit the Tab button on the keyboard to switch between form elements such as the textboxes and Buttons.

Hi Carl,

Do you use a regular windows form? May be Outlook Regions? Could you please take a screenshot of the host app with your form?

Hi Carl,

How can I reproduce it? Do you open a modal form via a button on the toolbar?

Yeah, I use 

Dim myForm As New FormName
myForm.show()


After that I add textboxes, and it won't let me use the tab or the enter button no matter how many settings I set to try and enable it. Like I said before, it works on generic projects not involving Add-In express.

Looks like this person had a similar issue with the enter key http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=10&TID=7084&MID=35469#message35469 and maybe tab as well.

Hi Carl,

The code above doesn't open the modal form. Please use the ShowDialog method of the form.

Oh wow, you have no idea how dumb I'm feeling right now. I can't believe such a small change in wording would make such a huge difference. :( :)

Thanks for telling me that. Any idea why form.show allowed the tabbing for normal forms in non add-in express projects and not in add-in express projects?
