TABID Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The TABID property defines the object's location in the tabbing sequence. The property uses the following format:

TABID={value}

Note the following:

1. TABID may be used in CREATE, SETPROP, or GETPROP statements.

2. The tab value applies to the main window objects only.

3. The {value} may range from one (1) to 32767 inclusive.

4. The value may be a numeric variable, integer variable or decimal immediate value.

5. If the TABID property is not used, the object is assigned an internal tabbing order value that is determined by the order in which the object was created. The default value is based on the initial TABID value for window containing the object.

6. If the TABID property is specified, {value} determines the location of the object in the tabbing sequence.

7. The tabbing sequence processes from lower values to higher as the TAB key is pressed.

8. The *NODEFTABID=OFF in the SETMODE statement excludes an object with an internally assigned TABID from the tabbing sequence.

9. The TABID property is not modified by the use of the STATIC property of an EDITTEXT object.
