I’m trying to create a custom grid object using a ScrollPane with TextFields contained within. The one issue I’ve run into is that I cannot tab from one TextField to the next. Instead, pressing tab switches focus to the ScrollPane. I’ve tried using the tabEnabeld, focusEnabled, and tabChildren properties of a ScrollPane to allow for tab focus to bypass the ScrollPane and switch focus amongst the TextFields.

Anyone have any suggestions besides setting up a KeyboardEvent listener and handling it myself?

Thnx,
