  Tab Order Not Working on Windows Component Droplist in Omnis Studio 11

  Posted by Ivan Arman on October 17, 2025 at 10:20 pm

  Hi everyone,

  I’m running into an issue with Droplist components (Windows Component) in Omnis Studio 11.

  Even though I have set the $order property correctly on my droplist and the surrounding fields, tabbing skips the droplist entirely. I’ve also tried setting $ctarget programmatically to give focus to the droplist, but it still doesn’t receive focus.

  Some additional context:

  • The droplist is visible, enabled, and $disablefocus is set to kFalse.
  • Fields before and after the droplist have $order set correctly (e.g., 8 and 10, with the droplist at 9).
  • I even tried the example from the Omnis Studio HUB “List Boxes” sample project, and the same behavior occurs — no tabbing works at all.

  Questions:

  1. Is this a known limitation of Droplist components in Studio 11?
  2. Is there a recommended way to make a droplist tabbable, or a workaround?
  3. Are there specific properties or events I need to set to make tab order work correctly?

  Any guidance, explanations, or examples would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!
