now when i am on the vendor field >> click on tab >> i will get to the BCT PO No >> then to the Purchasing Agent Actioning >> then to the Vendor Packing ... so seems the Date Received will be skipped when i am navigating using the tab keyboard key >> any fix to this issue?

thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    Would you try the TabIndex property and number the control in your required sequence. By default it will be 0  for all the control.

    Hi @johnjohn123 

    You should sequence all the control with the sequence required. 

    Control1 1

    Control   2

    Control   3

    Depending upon the sequence the tab will move.

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    By Default it is taking the sequence by which you added controls in the application may be you added datepicker control after other controls thats why tab is coming last by default.

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    I tried the same approach using tab and my datepicker was highlighted. Please see below image.

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    In the screen shot which you show the datepicker is visible. The index will work only when the control is visible
