cbassettAssigning tab order to controls
Web focus version 524. Working in developer studio - resource layout. I've created an entry screen for report selection criteria to be entered into. I need to change the tab order that the cursor follows from field to field on the form. In the help documentation it says to go to the "tab order dialog box" and change the line-up order in the dialog box. My problem is that I can't find the "tab order dialog box" when I am in developer studio. Does anyone know where I need to look to find this dialog box?Help. Thanks.

Francis MarianiI took a quick look at my DevStudio 5.3.4 documentation, and, as far as I can tell, this is a function of FrontPage and not DevStudio. I would code that manually, but then, who knows if the DevStudio GUI will be able to open the file again.

cbassettFrancis - Thanks for the response. How would I go about coding it manually? Could you supply an example? Thanks, Craig

<JJI>Hmmm, I thought that this is possible in the HTML-painter. But then again I'm already working with WF 7.1.4. I believe you can set the TABINDEX in the properties of the object in that release. I'll have to check that...
In the release you're working with it cannot be done by the GUI. You can follow the advice of Francis and code it manually. However, if you open your html page again in the GUI, the code you had put in manually will be removed! So if you want to change something in your html page, by using the GUI, remember that you'll have to recode the tabindexes.
Hope this helps,
