tab key to navigate between panel

Postby nicola.gioia » Fri Jun 09, 2006 12:40 am

Now if I try to navigate between panel group with tab key I don't see changeing on focused panel. I tryed also with the demo using the "docking framework demo" example.
There is a way to enable this feature, or it is a not yet implemented feature?
Thank's

The tab order among DockableFrames are not obvious. So we suggest you associate a shortcut key for each dockable frame. So user use this shortcut key to get to the dockable frame first, then use tab key to navigate among components inside this dockable frame.

Ok it is a good idea to navigate between the main panel of the application by shortcut, but the application I developing has some dockable frames fixed in number that can be simply highlighted by a shortcut, and some dockable frames that are added and removed at run time by user interaction with the application. For this panel it is not possible to use intelligent shortcuts that can be simply understood by the user.
How can I allow the user to navigate between them by keyboard?

How about you keep track of those dockable frames created during runtime, and name it with an index number from 0 to 9. Then you can use alt-0 to 9 to access. Of course, you are limited by 10 runtime dockable frames. Hopefully that's good enough.
