Option groups - setting focus

G

Guest

I have several option groups on a form which do not have a default value, all
with the choices of Yes, No, Not Applicable. I'd like the user to be able to
either use the mouse pointer or Enter key to navigate through these. If they
use the Enter key, I would like the focus to move to the Yes option as it
moves to a new group. However, for some reason I cannot figure out,
sometimes the focus jumps to No or NA first. Is there a way to configure
this so that the pointer moves to the same option choice for each group?

Use the standard keystrokes for an option group right throughout Windows:
- Tab to move to the group.
- Right or left arrow to move between options in the group.

Yes, but my problem was that, using Tab or Entry, the focus was still moving
to the wrong button within certain option groups. I want the focus to always
move to the "Yes" option, and for some, it was moving to "No", which can be
confusing to a data entry person when they get in a flow.

I ended up solving this problem in a bit of a bonehead way - physically
moving the control which was getting the focus to the "Yes" position,
relabeling them and re-setting their values. This worked, but I'm sure
there's a better way..
