Change Tab Order

The Change Tab Order dialog provides the capability to modify the order of the controls contained in the selected form or child window.

Visual PRO/5 uses control IDs to process resource events. Modifying the tab order also modifies the control ID order. If you modify the tab order of a resource file that has been incorporated into a Visual PRO/5 application, the modified control ID order will prevent the application from functioning properly.

To change the tab order, do the following:

1. To change the tab order of a control, click the line containing its name and ID, then click Up or Down once for each change of position within the list. Repeat this step for each control as necessary until you have set up the desired tab order.

2. Accept or cancel the newly defined tab order, as follows:

   • To accept the tab order and return to ResBuilder, click Accept.

   • To return to ResBuilder without changing the previously defined tab order, click Cancel.
