Example

// Identify the next control in edit
ResControl = ControlNext()

Syntax

<Result> = ControlNext()

<Result>: Character string

Name of the next control in edit. The case of the control name (uppercase/lowercase characters) corresponds to the one used when the control was created in the editor.

Remarks

ControlNext can only be called in the "Exit" event of a control. If ControlNext is called in another event or process, the name of the control returned will not make sense.
When the user presses the TAB key, ControlNext returns the name of control that follows the current one in the tab order defined in the editor.
Reminder: To set the tab order, on the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, expand "Tab order" and select "Edit".
On the contrary, when the user clicks a control, ControlNext returns the name of the control that was clicked by the user.
