<Result>: Character string

Name of the next control in input mode. The name of the control should be written with the same uppercase/lowercase characters as when the control was created.

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 the next control according to the tab order defined in the editor.
Reminder: To set the tab order, go to the "Window" tab, "Order" group, expand "Tab order" and select "Edit".
However, when the user clicks a control, ControlNext returns the name of that control.
ControlNext is not supported on Looper controls.
