How do I change the Tab Order for Controls in LabWindows™/CVI?

Primary Software: LabWindows/CVI Development Systems>>Full Development System
Primary Software Version: 9.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have created my LabWindows™/CVI User Interface Resource (*.uir) file and populated it with several controls, but I would like to change the order in which they are selected when using the Tab key.  How can I do this?

Solution:
To change the Tab Order of controls in a *.uir file, you must be viewing your *.uir, as the menu choices in LabWindows™/CVI are context sensitive

From the menu, select Edit » Tab Order.  This will allow you access to the Edit Tabbing Order dialog box, which allows you to click through your controls in the order in which you'd like them to be selected when using the Tab key.

The Tab Order will be numbered from 0 to N-1, where N represents the total number of controls present on your *.uir file.
