TextEdit.TabStop Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user can focus this control using the TAB key.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
[DefaultValue(true)]
public override bool TabStop { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Overrides Property TabStop As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**true**	true if the user can focus the editor using the TAB key; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the user presses the TAB key, the input focus is set to the next control in the tab order. Controls with TabStop set to false are not included in the tab order’s collection of controls. The tab order can be manipulated using the TabIndex property.

If the TabStop property is set to false, the editor can still be focused using the mouse.
