hello all I have a small dialog which I created dynamically, which has a textbox and a button..if the user presses the TAB key it has to switch between the two control(textbox and button)...I tried using SetwindowPos...but it doesnt seem to solve my problem...please give me a solution for this..in the below code..I also tried to include the mainwindow in the taborder..still it doesnt work

//dialog creation

HWND dialogHandle = CreateWindowEx(0,WC_DIALOG,L"Security Alert",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,600,300,280,160,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);

//create textboxcontrol within the dialog
    HWND textBoxHandle = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,L"EDIT",L"",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE |ES_PASSWORD | WS_TABSTOP,123,48,110,25,dialogHandle,(HMENU)IDD_TEXTBOX,NULL,NULL);

    //create button
    HWND buttonHandle  = CreateWindowEx(NULL,L"Button",L"OK",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE| WS_TABSTOP,151,85,85,25,dialogHandle,(HMENU)ID_PASSWORD_OK,NULL,NULL);

//setwindowpos

SetWindowPos(NULL,textBoxHandle,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
SetWindowPos(textBoxHandle,buttonHandle,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
