ScriptUI tab through the fields in a modeless dialog (IDCS4ME)

[TᴀW]

Hi,

I've made a dialog with ScriptUI, a "palette" i.e., modeless. I'd like the user to be able to press the Tab key and shift through the various text input fields etc. But instead, the Tab key hides the InDesign panels even when the dialog has the focus.

Anyone know how I can get the Tab key to work in a standard way?

Thanks,

Ariel

Thanks Harbs

Is this the same bug that when typing characters they sometimes are applied to the InDesign document, and sometimes to the dialog?

If so, does this mean that essentially nobody uses modeless dialogs with ScriptUI on a PC?

FWIW I scratched my plans for a modeless dialog because of this bug.

In CS4, the bug was much worse. They were totally useless on Windows. In CS5, it's only an annoyance...
