I asked this question a while back; here's the answer Aldo gave:
<!--BEGIN Aldo quote-->
yes, the tabstop is implemented (gosh, it puzzled me for some months...),
but only for DialogBoxes, not for Windows; eg.:
$W = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
-name => "Window",
-left => 0, # etc...
);
$B = $W->AddButton(
-name => "Button",
-tabstop => 1,
);
DialogBox controls can also have the -group option (0/1), which will "group"
a series of controls so you can move between them with the arrow keys.
BTW, this solution doesn't really satisfy me, I would like Windows too to
intercept tabstops and arrowkeys, but it seems things are done to work this
way in the Win32 SDK... or maybe there's something I still have to
understand :-)
