i started working with xojo when it was realbasic but have not done much for many years. i recall that to go from one object to the next on a window there was something i recall that it was called a sequence number or something like that but i can’t find it and need help. what i am thinking of is a number associated with an object. when you leave an object (it loses focus), the focus will transfer to another object or elsewhere and the order of transferring was a number i could set for each object. but know i can’t find the number and need to figure out what to do. thanks
Hi @Carl_Mize
I think you are asking about Tab Index (I could be wrong 
)
If you look at a controls properties in the inspector - click the little cogwheel you will see the Tab Order Index. I think that is what you are asking

BINGO . i had seen the cog wheel but didn’t think of clicking it. that solves the latest mystery and quickly.
Glad the mystery is solved for you 
More importantly… there are tools to help you get it right now. If you look in the layout editor toolbar, there are two tools, side by side, which allow you to set the tab order automatically or manually!
