Tip of the Day: Auto-Selecting Controls in the Tab Order Settings
Product: R:BASE 11
Build: 11.0.3.11120 or higher
Section: Forms
Keywords: Tab Order, Child Control, Position, Arrange
The Tab Order settings dialog has been enhanced to make it easier to identify
and select form controls, especially on forms with many objects.
A new interaction feature allows you to select an object directly from the form
canvas while the modal Tab Order dialog remains open. By using the [Ctrl ]+
Mouse Hover combination, you can select the control and thus highlight the
corresponding control in the Tab Order dialog. This enhancement provides quick
visual recognition of the selected object and streamlines tab-order adjustments
on complex forms.
Important Notes:
* Auto-selection is supported only for controls listed in the child
controls list view (the lower pane of the dialog).
* If the hovered control is not included in the child controls list view,
the automatic selection and highlighting will not occur.
Changing the Tab Order:
Several methods are available for adjusting the position of items within the
tab order list:
* Green arrow buttons: move the selected item up or down in the list.
* Change Order: Inserts the selected item into the position specified in
the Tab Order field.
* Swap Positions: Swaps the position of the selected item with the position
entered in the Tab Order field.
* Drag and Drop: Items can be reordered directly using the mouse.
* Auto-Arrange: Automatically arranges the tab order based on the X and Y
pixel coordinates of the controls.
