After every ContainerMember.LostFocus,
VFP call the Container ( When ) cycle and read:

*** TAB keyboard message
...
CN1.ActiveControl.LostFocus
CN1.VISIBLE
CN1.ENABLED
CN1.TABSTOP
CN1.NextControl.VISIBLE
CN1.NextControl.ENABLED
CN1.NextControl.TABSTOP
* another time !!!!!
CN1.NextControl.VISIBLE
CN1.NextControl.ENABLED
CN1.NextControl.TABSTOP
CN1.ENABLED
CN1.NextControl.When()
....

>I expected the behaviour to be that I could not tab to the container control but once a control in the container had focus I should be able to tab to the next control in the same container. If I wanted to prevent this behaviour I could set the TabStop property to false for each of the controls in the container.
