Change TabStop Property after Definition

Hello everyone,
I have a question about HMG3 and controls like the textbox. The Tabstop Property is only available at definition time, but I need to change it during runtime.
Does anyone have an elegant workaround for this restriction?
Thanks a lot!

You can setfocus to the next control on thiscontrol's ongotfocus event after checking the required condition.

Hello Raumi,
Did you tried
SetTabStop(GetControlHandle( 'Text_1' , 'Form_1' ),
.f.)

I just learned, that I need to check the status first and only set the value if necessary, otherwise, the control starts looking and behaving strangely (for reasons I do not understand).
Code: Select all
if isTabStop(GetControlHandle( 'Text_1' , 'Form_1' ) )
SetTabStop(GetControlHandle( 'Text_1' , 'Form_1' ), .f.)
endif
