Switching between edit boxes on tab controls

I am working with a tab control in a dialog-based application. On several of the tabs, I have multiple edit boxes which are to be filled in by the user. I would like the user to be able to jump between the editboxes by using the "tab" key. Unfortunately, the "tab" key simply seems to return the focus to the tab control rather than to the next edit box in the preset tab order. I can brute force this problem but am wondering if there is something simple that I am missing here?

Probably yes -- but I'm not sure what :-). I tried it and reproduced the behaviour you described, but didn't find a workaround. I suggest you try comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 newsgroup -- lot of Win32 gurus there.

See the topic in this forum with the subject "Tab Control not allowed in QuickWin??".
