>I only get tabindex numbers 1 and 2 from the container. I want to make them 14 andd 15.

Just make sure the tab order of the container itself is 14. The 1 and 2 denote the tab order inside the container. Any container has one tab index, and then the internal tab order for the objects inside the container applies.

This also means there's no way you can achieve shifting focus from an object inside the container to an object outside (or vice versa), unless they are the last and first inside objects, respectively - that is, by tab index numbers only. You can code thisform.oThatSpecificControl.SetFocus() anytime to override this.
