Setting Tab Order

Grid Layout allows you to set the sequence of controls that are activated each time a user presses the tab button. You can set the tab order by pointing and clicking in the Web Applet Layout Editor.

To set the tab order

  1. In the Web Layout Editor, select Format > Set Tab Order from the main Tools menu.

    The Web Layout Editor changes to Set Tab Order mode. Applet controls appear with a number next to them. The number indicates the sequence in which the user will progress through the controls using the tab button.

  2. Define the tab order by clicking on controls in the sequence you want.

    Each time you select a control the control is assigned a sequence number.

    NOTE:  If you do not click on a control, for example if you click on the layout background, the Web Applet Editor returns to normal edit mode.

  3. Select File > Save.
  4. Select Format > Set Tab Order.

    The Web Layout Editor returns to normal edit mode.

  5. Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 4 for each applet Web template mode.
