tab control and Option Groups

[apna]

I have a Form with a 5 page tab control. On each tab control page are 10
Option Groups. Each Option Group has 5 Option Buttons that could be
selected.

The problem is when you select one of the Option Buttons in one Option
Group you can't change your mind and select one of the other Option Buttons
in that same Option Group. What you have to do is select one of the Option
Buttons in another Option Group and then you can go back to the first Option
Group and select an Option Button but again you can only do it once.

I tried the Option Group with out a tab control and they worked the way they
were suppose too. I guess something with mixing tab controls and Option
Groups doesn't work. Does anyone know about this?

Thanks

There is no problem mixing tab controls & option groups.

You say: "when you select one of the Option Buttons in one Option
Group you can't change your mind and select one of the other Option
Buttons in that same Option Group."

Why not? What happens when you try?

It's like this.

There are 5 options buttons. I click on one of them and it works. I change
my mind and want to make a different option but if I try to click one of the
other option button (in that option group) NOTHING HAPPENS - IT WILL NOT
SELECT. If I click on an option button in another option group, it works,
and then I can go back to the first option group and click any option button
and it will work.

What is happening is you can only select one option button in an option
group unless you go to another option group and select a button there and
then go back to the first option group and then you can select any button
once again.

It maybe because I have 54 option Groups with 5 option button each so 270
buttons total. I did max out the number of controls you can have on a form.

For anyone else reading this, I found the problem.

The way I have my form layed out is.

<label1>
<option group1>
<label2>
<option group2>
<label3>
<option group3>
etc

These are all butted right up to each other (no space). I also have
alternating background colors for label/option group.
It appears that the color is what is messing me up. When I select an option
button the focus goes to the button and everything else in that option group
goes to the background so that you can not select anything if you wanted
too. Once you click on another option group, then that option group goes to
the background and the other option group starts working. Its like the
colors are overlapping and doing like a "Bring to Forward" and "Send to
Back" thingy. wierd.
