    Hi @JACK_LAI_1117 ,

    Set the TabIndex of each control - it is in the drop-down at top left.

    @WarrenBelz  , thank you for your answer , I modify every control "Table index" 1 to 25 , then save and publish it , but it is the same situation , after click "Tab" it  not change by the config !!

    @JACK_LAI_1117 ,

    That is the only built-in control that will achieve what you want. I assume you mean the tab (keyboard) key, unless you want to start putting a SetFocus() on the OnChange of each control to take the user to the next one.

    @WarrenBelz Warren...Has there been any change to a tab control(using Tab) on the keyboard to successfully go from each control on a Standard screen App, AND NOT a form app(using datacards) ?

     

    Is using Setfocus() the best route ?

     

     

     

    Thanks

    Dave
