tab order: easiest way to change TabIndex?

[c@lle]

Hello,
I want an easy way to change the tab-order of the fields on my form. Now I have to click on every field and change the 'TabIndex' property

I think I remember something about a 'tabindex editor' (a number is set in the corner of the fields).

Where can I find this, if it still exists?

Sheridan Software's VBAssist 5 does what you want.

Have a look at http://www.shersoft.com

I've heard of this too but I can't remember you wrote it - take a look on http://www.ComponentSource.com - you should find something there...

setting them manually you can work your way from the last to the first and set them all to 0. Vb will keep adjusting as you go so the last 0 will actually be zero and the rest will be 0 + 1 etc.

If you have Visual Studio 6 (perhaps also earlier versions) there is a very nice taborder add-in in x:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033\Samples\VB98\Taborder

I've found the taborder.vbp, compiled it, copied the dll to windows\system32 amd registered it. All ok. In VB6 I go to Add-Ins\Add In Manager and it appears as Tab Order Sample Addin. I checked the boxes Loaded / Unloaded, Load on Startup. I restarted VB6 and threw a few controls on a blank form. Now, how do I actually USE the tab order tool? I canot find any documentation for it.

I've never answered a 24 year old thread before, but your best bet is to invest in the VB6 version of MZ-Tools which can be downloaded from here.https://www.mztools.com/v8/download_trial.aspx

I should have mentioned that MZ-Tools has a tab order assistant plus much more.

For example, you read the names of these text boxes into the database.
Then run sql can be used to sort him to the first item, the last item forward and backward, or insert him to any position in the middle.

Then use the plug-in to modify the current order of each one.

Or put it in the list box control and move it up and down. Drag it in order.

The most difficult thing in the world is that each modification zorder position, and its three-dimensional upper and lower layer relationship.
Zorder attribute

There is no room for great changes, but also how to modify the relationship between its upper and lower levels. For example, the simplest way is to set it to the top first, and then set other spaces to the top, which is a clumsy way to operate.

Why are there so many examples of you in your notes below? But I wrote a lot of source code. Every time I send a message, I can't see my previous example of these lines of code. Here we go.
