Custom form controls tab index

Hi,

I have created a custom form and added multiple text boxes, when tabbing through the items it jumps in the sequence the items were added to the form.

Is there a way to control the order of moving between items when pressing the tab button?

Thanks,

You must set the TabIndex proper

Thanks Anton,

Could you please elaborate on where should i add the tabindex as i searched through the sdk and there is nothing mentioned about tabindex.

You must open your management pack with any text editor and add to your form customization:

<PropertyChange Object="TextBox_#" Property="TabIndex">
   <NewValue>##</NewValue>
</PropertyChange>

where

TextBox_# - name of textbox control (generated automatically)
## - tabindex value.

Should this still work for SCSM 2012?

I can't get it to work.  The tab order stays in the order that I added the fields.
