Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): origin pro 7.5 SR4
Operating System:WinXP pro

I have several fields I'm asking a user to fill-in in a getNbox. They must use a mouse to click each field to fill them in. Is there a way to enable tabbing through them?

The keyboard should work, but it is a little awkward in 7.5.

The first trick is to get the cursor to appear in the tree :
As you press Tab repeatedly, notice the cursor selection rectangle that toggles between the default buttons (OK and Cancel for example).
Notice that there is one state when none of the buttons has the cursor. The cursor is in the tree, it's just not immediately visible. When in that state, press any Arrow key and the cursor will appear in the tree.

You can use the Arrow keys to maneuver in the tree. If you hit a combo box, the Up and Down Arrows will change the selection but remain in the box. Press the Left or Right Arrow and continue. When you hit an action control like a check box or browse button, press the Space bar to check/uncheck or activate.

We hope to modify the GETN dialogs in 8.0 to be a little more natural in their keyboard response.
