How Do I Set the Subform to Be Tabbed Into from a Specific Control of the Parent Form? (Magic xpa 2.x)

Usually, Magic xpa will set the tab order to be as you would expect it, tabbing from the upper left corner to the lower right. However, you can set the tab order manually if you need to.

Setting the Tab Order of a Subform Control

1. Turn off automatic tabbing, if it isn’t already, by pressing the icon on the Commands palette (Drawing->Order->Automatic Tab Order).

2. Set the tab order of the other controls as desired in the Tab order property of each of the controls.

3. Set the tab order of the Subform control to one greater than the control that it is tabbing from. So in this case, the tab order goes from “Payment Method” (6) to the “Products” subform (7).

4. Make sure the Subform control has the defaults still set for the Allow Parking and Tab into properties (both should be Yes).
