[Gambas-user] Heirarch of controls vs Tab order/z order...

Gnome 2

   Four input boxes are arranged on a tab, lets call them TextBox1, 
TextBox2, TextBox3 and TextBox4, and this this is the order in which 
they appear in the hierarchy. On the form they are arranged in two 
columns, the first column contains TextBox1 and TextBox 2, the second 
Column TextBox3 and TextBox4.

   When the user is entering data I want them to enter everything in the 
first column (TextBox1 and TextBox2), then the second Column (TextBox3 
and TextBox4), which is the order of the controls in the hierarchy. Alas 
this does not transpire.

   After entering data in TextBox1 the user presses TAB and the focus is 
given to TextBox3, Pressing TAB again jumps to TextBox2 and TextBox4 is 
the last one. Does the Hierarchy not also enforce the tab order/z order 
of the controls?

Kindest regards
Steve.
