TabOrderManager

info

For a complete list of properties, methods, and events, see the API documentation.

Features​

TabOrderManager assigns tab indexes according to the layout of controls in a container. It supports horizontal and vertical ordering, so different containers can use different navigation directions.

How To​

Add the component to the designer, then set the TabOrder extender property on each container you want it to manage. Select AcrossFirst for horizontal ordering or DownFirst for vertical ordering.

Advanced​

Use SetTabOrder(container, value) to configure a container in code. This is useful when the application creates or rearranges controls at runtime. See Tab Order for the design-time and runtime workflows.
