Power Pad Editor


Setting Tab Order

Once a Power Pad has been created, you can use your TAB key to move the focus from button to button.  The order in which the focus moves is very important.  If the tabbing order is not correct, the End User may experience an unusual jumping around of the tab key focus.

To set the tab order, click the Set Tab Order icon located on the Editing ToolBar located at the bottom of the Power Pad Editor..  Numbers will appear on each of the controls in your project.  Notice that one of the numbers is always shown with a green background as shown here:

This ordering will cause the tab key to move from left to right, then down to the next row.  From button 1 to 2 then to 3 and 4.

To change the order to go down first, click on button number 1, then 3, then 2 then 4.  The numbers will change as you go.  When you click on the last button, the numbers will automatically disappear.

Click the Set Tab Order icon .again to verify the new order as shown here.
