TAB doesn't work for controls anymore

[Vitaliy Margolen]

Ok, how about this:
77e492b5 837d1800         cmp     dword ptr [ebp+0x18],0x0
77e492b9 7407             jz      user32!MLEditWndProc+0x223 (77e492c2)
77e492bb 8b450c           mov     eax,[ebp+0xc]
77e492be 80486204         or      byte ptr [eax+0x62],0x4
77e492c2 b88d000000       mov     eax,0x8d
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
77e492c7 e9fa09ffff       jmp     user32!MLEditWndProc+0x6c6 (77e39cc6)

This is part of the EditWndProc from w2k. I'm not saying you are wrong. We both wrong
and M$ right :-)

BTW What application is not working? I tested TAB on number of programs I have (word,
excel, custom DB app) and TAB working in all of them. :-O

Here is a simple program which with only one edit and a button. Edit should capture both
{Return] & [Tab]. Sorry for the size - that's the smallest I could make it.
