Setting the Investment application main window tabbing order

To set the tabbing order for the main window of the Investment application, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Composition Editor for the MainWindowView part, if it isn't already open.
  2. From the pop-up menu for the Window part, select Set tabbing > Show tab tags.
  3. From the pop-up menu for the Window part, select Set tabbing > Default Ordering.
  4. Select the Test tool Test tool from the tool bar. Then in your test window, use the Tab key and the arrow keys to move between the fields.

    Notice that you can tab to all of the entry-type fields, the radio button set, and the checkbox, but you cannot tab from the check box to the push buttons. You can use the arrow keys to move from the check box to the push buttons.

    Close the test window after you are done using it.

  5. From the Toggle Button part's pop-up menu, select Set tabbing > Tab group.

    Now, you can use the tab key to access the Toggle button, instead of just the arrow keys.

  6. Test your part again to see how this change affects tabbing and traversing between parts.
  7. When you are done, save the part and then close the Composition Editor for the part.
