Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
columnname |
The name of the column whose tab order you want to get or set. |
number |
A number from 0 to 32000 specifying the position of the column in the tab order. A value of 0 takes the column out of the tab order and makes it read-only. |
Set the value using Format>Tab Order.
Tab order changes have no effect in grid DataWindow objects
In a grid DataWindow object, the tab sequence is always left to right
(except on right-to-left operating systems). Changing the tab value
to any number other than 0 has no effect.
string setting
setting = dw1.Object.emp_name.TabSequence
dw1.Object.emp_name.TabSequence = 10
setting = dw1.Describe("emp_name.TabSequence")
