[Solved] Can't tab to an option button

[TicklishPig]

I have a radio button in a form which the tab order bypasses. I have it designated as a tab stop and the tab order has it placed between the objects before and after it, yet when tabbing through the form the radio button is ignored. I would expect it to be highlighted, allowing for the space bar to activate it. Is this an erroneous expectation?

Win XP, OO.o 2.4.1

I'm assuming your radio buttons is what OOo calls option buttons.

The "Default status" needs to be set to "Selected" in the buttons options in order for it to get any focus with the tab key. It only makes sense for one option button to be selected in your range of options; otherwise, you would use a checkbox. Maybe you have not told OO.o which of your option buttons should have the default status set to selected?

If you do not have multiple option buttons for the same group of user options, then you need to be using a checkbox. If you have multiple option for the same group of user options, then make sure the name of all your option buttons are all the same in your group of options buttons. The keyboard (tab key as well as the arrow key) would then be used. The screenshot should help.

You can add another group of option buttons within the same form so long as they have a different name that OO.o would then use to distinguish between the two groups of options.

Hope that helps.

Yes, "option" button. I'll change that in the subject from "radio" to "option" to be more useful to others.

The tip to have one of the button's "default status" set as "selected" was what I had overlooked. Thank you very much.
