Hi Johnf, thanks for your reply.
In my last message I completely messed up the indeces, so please it ignore it, it will only confuse you here is the correct version.

How did you create the UI form? Did you use the class designer?
Or did you manually create each of the controls - something like:
dabo.ui.dTextBox(self, RegID="CaseID",Width=225, DataSource = 'public.esenroll', DataField = 'caseno')
Well, I have chosen a third way. I manualy created a .cdxml-File (without the class designer, since my Form is huge and I don't like what it does to my .cdxml) that looks like this: (I stripped it down to the essentials for readability)
... <dGridSizer> <dTextBox rowColPos="(1, 1)" DataField="sph_r"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(1, 2)" DataField="sph_l"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(2, 1)" DataField="cyl_r"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(2, 2)" DataField="cyl_l"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(3, 1)" DataField="ach_r"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(3, 2)" DataField="ach_l"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(4, 1)" DataField="add_r"></dTextBox> <dTextBox rowColPos="(4, 2)" DataField="add_l"></dTextBox> ... </dGridSizer> ...
This results in the TabOrder sph_r,sph_l,cyl_r,cyl_l,... But I want sph_r,cyl_r,ach_r,...,sph_l,cyl_l,...
Normally, the order or tab order is set to match top to bottom and left to right within a panel (and of course a sizer can also influence the order).
Ok, maybe I can rearange my textfields and put all *_r fields in one dSizer and *_l fields in a second one. - To bad I really liked the dGridSizer.
There is one property 'TabStop' True or False that is available.
That I have found, but it is no use to me in my situation, since I want TabStop but just a different order.
That said, take a look at dDialog.py around line 365: for pos, btn in enumerate(buttons[1:]): btn.MoveAfterInTabOrder(buttons[pos-1])
The above is used for the class->_addControls.

Hello,
is it possible to set a kind of tab-index in a dabo-Form?
I have got a dPage-Object with a lot of dTextBoxes, dDropDownLists and so on but they appear in a different order on the Page than I want to step through them with the tabulator-key. The "tab-index" seems to depend only on the position on the Page. At least I have not found a corresponding property in the Object Inspector. Or did I just miss it?
Thanks in advance for your anwsers,
greetings Max
