This is both interesting and frustrating ( like so many things in our profession )



In the example the only change i have made to Ivan's clever trick of placing the UG in a groupbox which handles the TabOrderController is to put that groupbox on a TabPage ( and are all the ultragrids in my app )



ctrl-Tab seems reserved to move between tab pages. But ctrl-E is also a problem. Not sure where the focus goes, since in watch window it shows e.keycode is not keys.E but CntrlKey {17} ( this is also true when it is Cntrl-TAB )



Oddly, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X etc work as expected. And my code in the OnKeydown to have cntrl-Delete delete the row works fine, so I am not sure how the keycode is getting intercepted by the TabControl..



Notice in the sample that if the TabControl is removed, the groupbox/ultragrid work exactly as in the original example.



I have not been able to figure out if this is a SF thing or just a .NET tabcontrol thing or where to intervene.



If it is not fixable I need to convert my app to use panels or something instead but before I go that direction I'd like to know this can't be fixed and that I am not going to have the same problem there.



Thanks in advance ( Ivan )
