(D4) Tab key does not work...

... to change the focus between controls on a form instantiated in a DLL and
then docked in an EXE. If I undock the form, everything is OK, but when
docked, the tab key does nothing. All other keys and shortcut combinations
that I have checked work fine on the docked form, but if I can't get the tab
key to behave properly I'm outta luck.

Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?

Thanks,

Re:(D4) Tab key does not work...

The problem appears to be that the edit control on the form that comes from
the DLL does not handle the SendMessage API call (sent from
TApplication.ProcessMessages - IsKeyMsg) the same way that a form in the EXE
does. Any API gurus have any suggestions?
