tabStop

Type: Boolean

Availability: Read or write at any time

The tabStop property of the Control class specifies whether a user can use the Tab key to set the focus to a control.

The settings of the tabStop property are listed in the following table.

Value Description
true Designates the control as a tab stop (the default)
false Bypasses the control when the user is tabbing, although the control still holds its place in the actual tab order, as determined by the tabIndex property

Use the tabStop property to add or remove a control from the tab order on a form.

When a folder control gets the focus, the current tab has a focus rectangle drawn around it, and the arrow keys can then be used to move between the sheets of the folder.
