[Pythoncard-users] clearing up tab order in resourceEditor

[Kevin A. <al...@ya...>]

Since several people have brought this up recently, I
just wanted to remind everyone that the tab order is
controlled by the order that controls are created on
the Background (panel) when the background is created
at runtime. This order is shown by the position of the
control in the Property Editor in the resourceEditor.
Under the Options menu in the resourceEditor, there
are menu items to move the components up, down, front,
and back. Since this issue comes up periodically, I
guess this needs to be made clearer in the
resourceEditor or some documentation, and I'm open to
suggestions.

I'm not particularly thrilled with the idea of making
a separate dialog specifically for the tab order of
controls, since it will just be a duplicate of the
functionality already provided.

I thought that wxPython might have added a separate
tab order mechanism in addition to the Navigate
methods added to the  wxWindow class, but some quick
searches didn't turn up anything, so I'm probably
imagining things.

If for some reason, the component order displayed in
the Property Editor is not accurately reflecting the
tab order, then that's a bug and needs to be fixed, so
let me know of a specific example, if that is the
case.

Thanks,

ka
