Managing tab order and Z order
Like any other ABL widget, ActiveX controls participate
in the tab order of the ABL frame to which they are parented. The
tab order of a control is managed by the control-frame widget. You
can modify the tab order of a control using the control-frame's MOVE-AFTER-TAB-ITEM( ) and MOVE-BEFORE-TAB-ITEM(
) widget methods.
The same is true of Z order (the overlay order of controls).
You can modify the Z order of a control using the control-frame's MOVE-TO-BOTTOM(
) and MOVE-TO-TOP( ) widget methods.
