你要的API是gtk_container_set_chain
void gtk_container_set_focus_chain(GtkContainer *container,
GList *focusable_widgets);
focusable_widgets就是tab順序的控件列表，必須是container的子控件，GList應(yīng)該會(huì)用吧。
如果要設(shè)置不同容器中控件的順序，嵌套就行；只是不能有跨控件的順序。我實(shí)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)簡單的程序來演示TAB順序的設(shè)置。如下：

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
gtk_init(&argc,&argv);
GtkWidget *window=gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window),GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window),480,360);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window),"destroy",
G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit),NULL);

GtkWidget *box=gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL,5);
GtkWidget *box1=gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL,5);
GtkWidget *box2=gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL,5);

gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window),box);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box),box1,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box),box2,TRUE,TRUE,0);

GtkWidget *entry1,*entry2,*entry3,*entry4,*entry5,*entry6;
GList *chain;

entry1=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1),"entry1");
entry2=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry2),"entry2");
entry3=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry3),"entry3");
entry4=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry4),"entry4");
entry5=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry5),"entry5");
entry6=gtk_entry_new();
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry6),"entry6");

gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box1),entry1,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box1),entry2,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box1),entry3,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box2),entry4,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box2),entry5,TRUE,TRUE,0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box2),entry6,TRUE,TRUE,0);
