Question This tab focus shouldn't be possible

[katz]

When I was setting the tab indices for the items on my form, I noticed that I have some radio buttons that do this:



For added complication, some of the radio buttons on the form behave this way, while others follow the normal tab focus rules.

I have been assured that this is 100% impossible, that tab doesn't ever move between individual controls inside a container, and that you can never give focus to an unchecked radio button. But apparently you can and I'd very much like to find out why and how I can emulate or remove this behavior. Anyone up to it?

I'm using Visual Studio 2012.

As far as I'm aware, as you've already been told, that should be impossible. It may be something funky going on with that project or your machine. Have you tried opening that project on a different machine? If not then do so if you can. If you can't or you do and see the same behaviour, try zipping up your solution and attaching it to a new post so we can test it out too. Just be sure to delete your 'bin' and 'obj' folders before zipping.
