I have a dialog box that has several controls placed on it at design time.

I create a checklist box at run-time, and it always gets placed last in the
tab order (even though it's the second control that the user sees).

Is there a way to dynamically reorder the tab sequence in a dialog box?

I've not done it myself, but I remember an answer to a similar posting in
the past was that you use SetWindowPos, and that changing the tab order of
controls is similar to changing the ZOrder of windows.

you could handle the OnSetFocus message and explicitly set the focus to
whatever control you want to.

i came across  a Dlgtpl32 sample from microsoft which demonstrates how to
create dialog templates in memory. this had some code to change the tab
order at run time. this could be useful if you can find it.

good luck

The tab sequence order is determined by the Z-order of the child
windows (controls). You can use SetWindowPos to alter the z-order.
