Tab Order of Editable Fields

Post by mriggall »

Hi

I have a report that contains editable fields, when in the report viewer and I turn on "edit mode" the report viewer seems to randomly select which field I can edit first. Then after I edit that field and press the tab key it seems to select the next editable field in random order.

How do I set which editable field is first to be edited when the user turns on edit mode in the report viewer, and how do I select the tab order for all of my editable fields in my report?

thanks

Matt

Hello,

Unfortunately, this feature is not available for editable fields.

Thank you.

Thanks Aleksey

But how does Stimulsoft Report Viewer decide what is the next editable field to tab to? Is there a workaround I can use to set the tab order, it's really important for our users. For usability, if they edit the field and then press tab it might go to somewhere completely different in the report, but it should go to the next editable field.

It makes the editable fields unusable, surely there can be a way to do this??

thanks

I did some more research, I think it is from the ShowOrder property that decides where to go next when the user presses the tab key?

How do I edit the ShowOrder property in the report designer?

thanks

You could change order of components in the Report Tree or on the Layout tab.

Thank you.
