Hello.
Is the focus on a screen always on the control with tab order 1?
I have a screen with an entry field and 2 buttons. The exit button is tab order 1, the update button is tab order 2 and the entry field is tab order 3.
Shouldn't the focus always be on the exit button? Sometimes after getting out of other screens in the program and launching this screen, the focus is on the entry field (3) and not on the exit button (1). Has this happened to anyone else?
Also, is it possible to change the tab order programmatically?

Thanks!!!

    Hi, that window you talk about, is opened, closed and reopened from a father program? if that is the case, maybe is a problem in the memory, that happens to me in a screen that mantains all the values and the focus when i closed it in the first time.

    Check if your screen unloads correctly from memory. In my example, was a thread incorrectly terminated that cause the fail unloading the screen.
