Joel,
>From what little I know about VEE, my interpretation of VEE panel
behavior:
1. Generally, the focus is on the first object in the panel.
(object order determined left -> right and top -> bottom)
2. When present, data input objects like Constants, Sliders, Toggles,
Selection, etc., have priority over "OK" object and will get the focus
irrespective of their position relative to the OK object(s).
I am not into VEE7 yet, but as Mike pointed out you could probably
define the order in VEE7.

The attached example changes the tab order but not the colors. You
could modify this with the concept from Mike Grove's example to change
color.
