How do I use an accelerator in a label to have the focus move to the textbox or control associated with that label?
Label controls, although they support the ampersand accelerator and tabindex/tabstop, never actually receive focus. When a label is activated by the mnemonic key, control moves to the control having the next higher tabindex. So, by setting the tabindex of a textbox (or control) that you want to gain focus when the label mnemonic is pressed to 1 more than tabindex of the label, focus will move to that control when the accelerator key is pressed.
