Syntax

GET-TAB-ITEM ( n )

An integer expression that specifies a tab position within a field group.

You can use the MOVE-AFTER-TAB-ITEM( ) and MOVE-BEFORE-TAB-ITEM( ) methods to change the tab position of fields at the field level, and the FIRST-TAB-ITEM and LAST-TAB-ITEM attributes to change the tab positions at the field group level.

If the widget returned is a frame, the specified tab position includes the tab positions of all tab-order widgets contained by the frame. For more information on how frames owned by a field group participate in the tab order of that field group, see the FRAME widget reference entry and the chapter on frames in OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Handbook .
