>I'm building a class which is a container of other objects. I capture the keystrokes ('cause I want to do specific things). When the user hits the TAB key, I want to move on to the next object on the form (one that can actually receive focus). How the heck do I do that? I tried .Parent.Objects(This.TabIndex+1).SetFocus, but if the next object is something like a shape that doesn't have a SetFocus event, I get an error.

I'm not sure if this will work but why not issue a DODEFAULT in the KeyPress event if the key pressed is a TAB. Then VFP will find the next available control that can receive focus. Otherwise, you have to go through each control and find out not only if there is a SetFocus method but if the control is visible and enabled so it can receive focus.
