Tabs do not work in Word Add-in

[UpWritePress]

Hi, I have created a word add-in with VB.NET. It opens a form for the user to fill out.. my problem is that the Tabs do not work (some do, but 90% of them do not). I thought maybe I have screwed them up from endless changing, but this isnt the case. I have rebuilt a simple one from scratch and I get the same behavior.. and if I copy and paste (or just use the existing form in a new windows application) the tabs all work.

Has anyone seen this behavior, and is there a way I can get my tabs to work?

Thanks much,
Jason

I found if I make the form modal using ShowDialog() the tabs function
again... this however isnt an option for me.

I also turned on the keyPreview property of the form, which allowed me to
add an Overrides OnKeyPressed routine, then I can use
myBase.ProcessTabs(true), and they will tab as expected.. But the shift+tab
does not work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated..
