Description

Determines whether a user can use the Tab key to set the focus to a control.

Usage

[form.]control.TabStop[ = boolean ]

Setting

The TabStop property settings are:

Setting          Description

 

True              (Default) Designates the control as a tab stop.

False             Bypasses the control when the user is tabbing, although the control still holds its place in the actual tab order, as determined by the TabIndexH38QPT property.

 

Remarks

This property allows you to add or remove a control from the tab order on a form.  For example, instead of moving through each button in an option button group, you can treat the whole group as one tab location.  To do this, set TabStop to True for the first option button in the group and set TabStop to False for the other option buttons in the group.
