Order of Elements
Aug 23rd, 2004 at 4:56pm
Print Post Print Post  
I am having trouble tabbing through my elements.  It kinda goes at will all over the layout.  I have aligned them all the same way, but no luck.  I have had some success with programming.  My real problem is where it starts (right in the middle) when I open Add Data.
I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

Do you have programming that is forcing the focus into the middle of your Form? Otherwise, it should start at the first element on your Form. Perhaps OnElementEntry programming in the first element?

There isn't any programming forcing the focus into the middle.  Actually I've taken all the programming out, except the line to automatically input todays date.  I have rearranged the elements since I created the layout, would that have any effect on it?

It shouldn't. It goes by location on your screen, not by order of creation. Are you sure you don't have some more programming hiding in another event?

Which version are you runing?

I'm 98% sure there is no other programming going on.  I'll go double check right now.  Is there an easy way to see all the programs created for a layout at once?

version 1.0.4

If you export the programming to a text file, you can see it all at once.

OK.  I double and triple checked.  There is no other programming in the layout.  I previewed the application again just to make sure.  It starts at the top of the middle column (of 3) in the layout.

That element may be a pixel or two higher than the top element in the other columns. In Designer, select the top row of elements and set Vertical Alignment to Top.  That should line them all up exactly.
