TabStop Property (WinTextBoxBase)

Gets or sets a boolean value indicating whether the user can give the focus to this control using the TAB key.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<DefaultValueAttribute(False)>
Public Shadows Property TabStop As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As WinTextBoxBase
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.TabStop = value
 
value = instance.TabStop

[DefaultValue(false)]
public new bool TabStop {get; set;}

Property Value

true if the user can give the focus to the control using the TAB key; false otherwise. By default, false.

Remarks

When the user presses the TAB key, the input focus is set to the next control in the tab order. Controls with the TabStop property value of false are not included in the collection of controls in the tab order. The tab order can be manipulated by setting the System.Windows.Forms.Control.TabIndex property.

Note that in order for the WinTextBox control to gain focus when the TAB key is pressed, the TextBoxArea's TabStop property must be set to true.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
