Set tab "autoorder" from VB

[DataMinerHome]

1. Is it possible to "autoorder" the tab indexes of a section of a form, using VB? (I know how to do it manually)

2. In the object explorer, under "Section" I see "SetTabOrder", but can't find any help on this. What do you suppose it does?

So, do you know what is meant by "default order"?

 

[GinaWhipp]

If you are talking about the Default Order of Tabbing that would be the order at which the controls were/are added to the form. When placing a control on a form it is automatically assigned a tab order bssed on whether it was added forst, second, last, etc...

I assume you are talking about tabbing from one control to another (pressing the tab key) - you are not talking about the tab control.

So the Tab Order feature allows you to either Auto Order the tab order, or you can manually manipulate the tab order by highlighting a control and dragging it to the order you want.

You can use VBA to set the tab order to you own defined order. Take a look here.
