Purpose

.TabStop allows you to specify whether certain objects will behave as a tab stop.
 

Syntax

ObjectReference.TabStop = Value
 

Operation

ObjectReference is the Tag Name of the object
Value
is the tab stop setting (TRUE or 1 = TabStop, FALSE or 0 = no TabStop)
 

Remarks

The value of this property can only be set, not retrieved.

When <TAB> is pressed, the Dynamic object will be stopped on if the TabStop property is set.

These properties must be set in Logic In, Entry Logic, or Default Logic, and before any field processing begins.

It is not possible to change these properties once execution of the cycle that contains the Dynamic object has begun.  If that is the case, the Property Logic command will be ignored, and a warning message displayed.
 

Example

To set the .TabStop property for the Edit Box object (Tag Name = CustomerName):

CustomerName.TabStop = TRUE


To set the TabStop property for the Combo Box object (Tag Name = CustomerNumber) using a numeric variable:

#TRUE-VALUE = 1
CustomerNumber.TabStop = #TRUE-VALUE
