ok, I still think the forms layout calculator is little wrong as normally need 5 adjusting pixels in the width.
anyway, here is something:
code:
$=createobject("kixtart.form")
$.size=80,120
$.center
$notab=$.button("please, no tab",5,10,70,20)
$notab.tabstop=0
$notab.onmouseup="$$second.setfocus"
$second=$.button("second",5,40,70,20)
$exit=$.button("exit",5,70,70,20)
$exit.onclick="$$.hide"
$exit.defaul=1
$.show
while $.visible $nul=execute($.doevents) loop
there is no way you can remove the black border around the notab button once you have clicked it.
and btw, rod/shawn, documentation on the tabstop in:
http://www.kixforms.freeuk.com/Docs/Properties/tabstop.htm
is wrong.
