Tab Control: Check Box Focus Failure

[aeronaut]

I am faced essentially with the same problem that was posted by Peter Hibbs
on 2/9/2007. Unfortunately, no satisfactory solution was offered to Peter so
I hope that somebody can offer a solution now.
When I insert a Check box from the tool bar into Tab control everything
works fine: I get a dotted line around the label of the checkbox that it is
in focus. However, changing the tab order within a Tab Control, results in
the Check Box control losing the focus. The associated label will not get the
dotted outline after tabbing to the check box. Pressing the Space-Bar toggles
the control as normal confirming tab position. This is NOT caused by the
label no longer being associated with the checkbox (clicking on the label
toggles the checkbox).
Thank you for your help. Andras

Try to turn off windows effect "Hide underline letters for keyboard
navigation until I press the Alt key"
(Display->Properties->Appearance->Effects)

I turned off the "Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the
Alt key" in the Control Panel>Display>Effects as you suggested, but
it does not seem to make any difference. I think that his must be
the Windows 2000 equvivalent for "Hide underline letters for
keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key".
