This would work ok except that you need to determine in which direction you are moving. In FocusChangedEvent you are passed the handle of the current window and the handle of the previously focussed window. So you would need to determine based on this information which direction you are moving before setting the focus to the appropriate control. Another way to handle this would be to create versions of the tabKey and shiftTabKey functions for your application. This way you do not need to be concerned about direction. Be sure to invoke the default versions of these functions when your conditions are not satisfied.
