Rick, thanks, but I know the TabStop prop and multiple control selection.
I have to write out the problem I'm trying to solve.
The main project in VB6. Our developer team started gradual moving to VB.NET project and created some .net forms. They are called from VB6. But one day we noticed ununderstandable Tab key behaviour and here is the problem.
When a .net form is shown and if the user presses Tab key the form is being deactivated and the main MDI parent form of VB6 project is getting active. The cursor in the .net form is not moving to the next form control.
In VB6 project there is a reference to .NET library that contain some classes.
The variables of these classes are declared WithEvents and there are some code with handling these events (in VB6).

So, is there a way to cancel the Tab key with the help of API functions?
