Tab Order.

[TonySh]

Hi there.

I'm pretty new to Progress in specific and PC computing in general. I come from Mainframe environment. I've been working with Progress for about 3 months. It looks OK so far, but I know I'm a long way from being proficient ni the language. I have a feeling you guys will hear hear from me pretty often, and I hope not all of my questions are dumb :awink:
Here comes my first question:
How do I set tab order for a frame?
I looked it up in Progress Help and could get it working. MOVE-AFTER-TAB-ITEM method seems to be just what I need, but I couldn't quite understand the syntax of it.
Thanks a lot.
Tony.

Tab order:
* Character: in the order of the "update" or "prompt-for" statement
* GUI : Can't remember ..still have to have my coffee and its 6am (sigh)

Look in the PDF or DynaText for help on the second item .. other good sites include:

Good luck

For GUI, go the Frame Properties(double click on frame), then press the tab order button on the right.
The rest should be self explanatory.
