VB6 Tutorial 11: Common Properties 3 of 3
This is the third and final part of the common properties section, in which a description of properties that are common to most VB6 controls.
The TabIndex and TabStop property
The TabStop property indicates whether the user can use the TAB key to give the focus to an object. You can give focus to the objects pressing the TAB key in the daily use software applications.
The TabIndex property sets the tab order of an object.
Example
Command3.TabIndex = 0 Command2.TabIndex = 1 Command1.TabIndex = 2
When you press the TAB key, the focus will be given on Command3 first, then on Command2 and at last on Command1.
Movable
Determines whether an object is movable.
Locked
Determines whether an object e.g TextBox can be edited.
The Tag Property
Stores any extra data for your program that is used in the code.
Control Box
Indicates whether a control-menu box is displayed on the form at run time. If this property is set to False, the Close Button, Minimize Button and Maximize Button are not shown on the form.
ShowInTaskBar
Determines whether the form appears in the windows taskbar.
StartUpPosition
Specifies the position of the form when it first appears.
Icon
Sets the icon displayed when the form is minimized at run time.

Haha thanks! I'm just glad someone is getting some use out of these posts.
I'm working on the rest of the series, and should be able to have them submitted tomorrow. The webmaster will only release two per day, though. :(

Not sure why it's posting me as "AnonymousCoward". I didn't sign up as that. I might be a coward, but I don't care if I'm all that anonymous. :) I know a lot of this stuff coz I been in it since 2003, but there's stuff that's always eluded me, like Xor and And ops, so look forward to that. I know there's a lot of those tutorials online, but since you're making them, why not use yours?

Looks like you got it sorted. I'll poke dwirch about your issue. He might be already chasing it down, though. He's usually pretty on top of these things.

Oh and ... I've got a numeric functions lesson coming up in a bit. Should be around lesson 37 or so.
