[news.eclipse.tools] Re: SWT - Group/item traverse order

["Carolyn MacLeod" <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxx>]

SWT widgets are added to the tab order in the order that they are created.
You can use TAB and CTRL-TAB to traverse between tab groups, and the arrow
keys to traverse within tab groups.
It is possible that the check box traversal problem you are experiencing is
simply because you need to use the arrow keys to traverse between checkboxes
if they are in the same tab group. Try tabbing to the first check box, and
then using arrow keys.

Having said that, there are still some known problems with keyboard
traversal in SWT. We will be working on fixing these problems in the very
near future.
