How can i influence the order of the controls on a form when tab'ing through...?

On the desktop i often use the tab key to walk through the controls.I noticed that the order is mostly not the way i want ( from top to bottom of the form), but appears chaotic.

By what is this tab order determined...?

regards,

You can determine the order by using "BringToFront"

Control1.BringToFront
Control2.BringToFront
etc

Have a look at Tab Order for Controls, then Tab Order

You can do it with the Door library and modify the TabIndex and TabStop properties of the controls.
Attached an example program.

Best regards.
