Return Type

The tab index of the Web server control. The default is 0, which indicates that this property is not set.

Remarks

Use the TabIndex property to specify or determine the tab index of a Web server control on the Web Forms page. When you press the Tab key, the order in which the Web server controls receive focus is determined by the TabIndex property of each control. When a page is initially loaded, the first item that receives focus when the Tab key is pressed is the addess bar. Next, the controls on the Web Forms page are tabbed to in ascending order, based on the value of the TabIndex property of each control, starting with the smallest positive, nonzero value. If multiple controls share the same tab index, the controls will receive focus in the order they are declared on the Web Forms page. Finally, controls that have a tab index of zero are tabbed to in the order they are declared.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista
