Remarks

First control in the navigation order

The tab order of the window controls corresponds to the order in which the controls take focus when pressing the TAB key.

To define the tab order in the window editor, select "Windows .. Tab order .. Edit".To define the tab order in the window editor, on the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, expand "Navigation" and select "Edit".

The controls taken into account by the navigation order are not necessarily edit controls: the combo boxes, radio buttons, list boxes, etc. can be taken into account by the navigation order.
