Managing tab order and Z order
Like any other ABL widget, ActiveX controls participate in the tab order of the ABL frame to which they are parented. The tab order of a control is managed by the control-frame widget. You can modify the tab order of a control using the control-frame's MOVE-AFTER-TAB-ITEM( ) and MOVE-BEFORE-TAB-ITEM( ) widget methods.
The same is true of Z order (the overlay order of controls). You can modify the Z order of a control using the control-frame's MOVE-TO-BOTTOM( ) and MOVE-TO-TOP( ) widget methods.
