| Uwe,
| The best way I've found to change the tab order is to bind the tab key
| event of a widget to a routine that changes the focus with focus_set()
| or focus_force(). You might have a line like this in the routine that
| creates your widgets:

| myWidget.bind("<Key-Tab>",self.tabInMyWidgetCB)

| and then somewhere else in the class something like:

| def tabInMyWidgetCB(self,event):
|   self.otherWidget.focus_force()
|   return "break"

that was my first idea, but in my case it doesnt work...

thanks, uwe.
