If you mean to set the tab order dynamically for an edit box you should take a look at SetWindowPos[^] and the parameter hWndInsertAfter. With that you should be ready to go.

If this is not what you need, please, explain it a little bit more.

Good luck!

So you are creating some editboxes dinamically. Once you've creted them you want to be able to jump from one editbox to another control using the TAB key in your keyboard. In order to do that, once you've created the control, you will need to adjust its TAB ORDER using the suggested function. After having done that you will be able to jump from one control to the other one by pressing TAB.

Good luck again.

You understood correctly, what I am trying for. But I do not know how to do that. Can you please send me any example or sample code?

Hm... I have no clean solution,

but you could try to insert HWNDs of all your resource and dynamic childs on the surface in an array,
provide the index-member for the surface and the KeyDown-reaction for the surface,

that would drive the ring index and send the WM_SETFOCUS at the indexed HWND... :)
