Posted on by MIA27

I am working power app for teams.

On my screen I have a container in which I have several text box controls. Example in the below image of some portion of my screen.

Later I noted that the tab control is disturbed. It does not move as I have alligned it.

Is is possible to control the movement of tab ?

Is there any tab index method?.

Please guide

Hi @MIA27 ,

You can use Tab Index Property of the controls.

The Tab Index property allows you to control the order in which controls receive focus when users navigate using the “Tab” key.

Please refer to this article - PowerApps - Tab Index for controls

Its is normal text box controls in the container, therefore, no Tab Index option available.

Please guide any other option for it.

Hi @MIA27 ,

I believe for every control there will be a "TabIndex" property, can you please share the screen shot of the properties of your control.

I am sharing my text input control's Tab Index property screen shot, it will be at the bottom of right-side property panel.

And the below image is displaying the TabIndex of a Text Input control inside a Horizontal Container, and here I am showing you the top property panel.

Dear Sunil,
Please note as i mentioned in my first post first line I am using Teams power app.
Below is the complete property of one of the text box control.

Better if you check power app for team inside in any screen insert a text box control and see if you can

Kindly guide if you have idea on it

My bad, I missed the "Teams".

The Teams TextBox control does not include the TabIndex property

Give a try like this - it is for Dataverse - https://www.bythedevs.com/post/tab-index-for-canvas-apps-in-dataverse-for-teams
