Tab order

Tab order

The tab order of the controls on a form determines the sequence in which the focus will change when the user strikes the tab key. Usually the tab order is right to left within each row of controls.

Not all controls can receive the focus. In Java, labels can receive focus but in Visual Studio they cannot. Also, the TabStop property (in Visual Studio) can be set to false to prevent a control from receiving the focus.
