IE in Xailer form via OCX ... HTML form TAB key problem

[ChrisGillard]

Hi,
I am using IE in a Xailer application via OCX based on code in Xailer
TestOcx sample.( Xailer 2.000 March 2009 )
All works very well except when viewing an HTML FORM ..... the TAB key does
not move to the next field on the HTML FORM.
I suspect the TAB keys are being used in the Xailer app and not being passed
to the IE component.
Attached is an image showing the application and the form on the screen.
Some ideas on how to get the TAB key into the IE component would be
appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
Have attached a very simple html page that does not work with the TAB key
from within the Xailer OCX IE wrapper.
Any thoughts on this one?

Hello!
This problem is very similar to the problems described in thread 'About OCX
class'
(02.05.2009) in this newsgroup. The problem is not yet closed.

Oleg,
I have read your thread in May about key & mouseevents and tOcx .... it does
sound like its the same problem.
I do hope Xailer coan fix this as I am very keen to wrap an IE Browser in a
Xailer app.
Thanks for your input.
Maybe Xailer could comment please ??

Chris, Oleg,
after 3 days of hard work (sic!), I've just get the first results. At least,
I have a working sample where tab and del keys are working fine in the
webbrowser control
Now I need to cleanup the code and test it with others OCX. I hope it'll be
done in a couple of days.

Jose,
Thank you for giving this so much time.
I will certainly find it very useful, I'm sure others will too.
Thanks again.

Great news! And thank you for hard work. I will wait to test it.

Jose!
I tested this updated ocx.lib with my small samples that did not work
before: MSFlexGrid OCX, MS ListView OCX, Windows Media Player OCX.

It seems that all is working fine now. These OCX receive keyboard and
mouse input as expected (behaviour equal to Delphi 7).

I found a problem with 'Import ActiveX' IDE function. In generated class
description there is no properties with negative ID (dispid). For example,
property Appearance of MSFlexGrid is generated in Delphi, but not generated
in Xailer. It has id -520. But I can see possible values of this property
in generated .ch file (flexFlat, flex3D).
