Hi,
I have a main dialog with Tab control. On tab click, when focus obtained on the tab, the next focus should be into the first control of the child dialog(which is visible when user selects a tab). But this is not happening. Instead focus moves to the control in the main dialog itself.

How can i set focus to the child dialog, once focussed on the tab?

Pay attention that not only every terminal controls have tab index, but also all containers do. You really need to what you want, but make sure that your tab control and each tab page have tab index 0. Tab stop goes between higher levels of hierarchy first, then go down the children of the selected container, and so on.
