Tab order question

[MikeDamone]

I have a web form that has numerous user controls on it. The tab order seems to be all over the place. Does anyone know how to control the tab order with respect to the multiple user controls? Thanks

Hi,

select a control when in design mode
right-click to view it's properties
there's a property called tab index that sets the tab order for the control.

Hope this helps

Thanks, but my problem isn't just with objects such as textboxes etc... Its with textboxes that are on user controls and those user controls are on a web form. There are multiple user controls on the web form, and multiple textboxes etc... on each user control. Only one user control is active at any given time and the others are hidden. I need the tab index to start on the objects that are on the form itself and then proceed in order to whatever user control is active. Any ideas? Thanks

Have you tried setting the tab-order in the code-behind file in response to whatever controls are visible?

It's not something I've ever tried before but should be possible.

Hope this helps
