Use this command to set the order in which readers may select objects on your VisualNEO Win page. When viewing your finished publication, users may move between some types of objects using the Tab key. The Set Tab Order screen allows you to specify the order in which objects will be selected. In Run mode, an object is selected when it responds to keys typed on the keyboard (it has the  input focus.) The object at the top of the Tab List will have the input focus first, followed by the second object and so on. Setting the Tab Order is useful for publications that support keyboard access, such as text entry forms. See App Properties / Access to enable or disable tabbing.


Hint: Not all types of objects can accept input. These objects will not appear in the Tab List. Push Buttons, Check Boxes, Radio Buttons and Text Entry Fields are examples of objects that can accept input. You also may see Rectangles appear in the Tab List. This is because plug-ins sometimes use rectangles to host special objects. Even though rectangles appear in the Tab List, Windows will not include them in the tab order unless a plug-in requires it.
