Description: | Defines the order in which focus moves from control to control when using the tab or arrow keys. | |||
Used in control(s): | CheckBox ComboBox CommandButton Custom DriveList Edit | FileList FolderList Frame GroupBox Label ListBox | ListView OptionButton Scrollbar Slider StaticText Tab | Table TextBox Toolbar TreeView |
Value: | The value is an integer greater than zero. When the tab key is pressed focus moves between controls that can receive focus and have TabStop set to True. The focus moves from one control to the control with the next highest TabIndex value. Back Tab (Shift + Tab) works in the reverse order. If TabGroup properties are defined focus can be moved, within tab groups, by the arrow keys, following the TabIndex order. Tab groups can be particularly useful for sets of option buttons. Although TabIndex can be set for the GroupBox, StaticText and Toolbar controls, which cannot receive focus at execution time, they are skipped when the focus is being moved by the tab key. | |||
