Hi.

Well I'm fighting with it wright now ;)

I have a main window proc and inside of it:

...
HWND childW;

switch (message){
  case WM_CREATE:
  .....
  childW=CreateChildWindow(hwnd, hInst);
   return 0;
  case WM_CHAR:
            switch (wParam) {
    case 0x09:            //TAB KEY
     SetFocus(childW);
     break;
    default:
     break;
   }
   break;
....

The CreateChildWindow(hwnd, hInst) is in another file and looks like this:
CreateChildWindow(HWND hwndParent, HINSTANCE hInstance){
HWND adminbox;

 WNDCLASS wcChild;
 //MSG msg;
 LPCSTR cName="CHILD_BOX";

 wcChild.style          = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
 wcChild.lpfnWndProc    = AdminBoxProc;
 wcChild.cbClsExtra     = 0;
 wcChild.cbWndExtra     = 0;
 wcChild.hInstance      = hInstance;
 wcChild.hIcon          = NULL;
 wcChild.hCursor        = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
 wcChild.hbrBackground  = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_BACKGROUND+1);
 wcChild.lpszMenuName   = NULL;
 wcChild.lpszClassName  = cName;

 RegisterClass (&wcChild);

 adminbox = CreateWindowEx(
  NULL,
  (LPCSTR) cName,
  (LPCSTR) "Window",
  TS_ADMINBOX_STYLE,    //(WS_CHILD | WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
| WS_CAPTION | WS_VISIBLE)
  0,0,
  TS_ADMINBOX_SIZE_X,    //200
  TS_ADMINBOX_SIZE_Y,    //100
  (HWND) hwndParent,
  (HMENU) TS_ADMINBOX_DLG,    //0x105
  (HINSTANCE) hInstance,
  NULL);
 return adminbox;
}
and the AdminBoxProc looks like:
....
LRESULT APIENTRY AdminBoxProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM
lParam)
{ switch (message){
  case WM_SETFOCUS:
   SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);
   return 0;
  default:
   break;
 }
 return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

That's what Ive got. Theres no problem if I switch the focus between the
dialogs created as WS_POPUPWINDOW or WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW (SetFocus() is not
even needed for it). But for WS_CHILD .... ???
