NOTE
The Edit Tab Order dialog box displays all windowed components currently on the form.
Non-windowed components are not displayed. To change the tab order, click on the name
of the component you want to move in the tab order and then click the up or down buttons
as needed. You can also drag the component to its new position in the tab order. Once you
get the tab order set the way you want it, click OK and the tab order will be set. You can
confirm the new settings by viewing the TabOrder property of each control.
The tab order starts with 0. The first component in the tab order is 0,
the second is 1, and so on.
May I See a Menu, Please?
Menus are a big part of most Windows applications. Some Windows programs do not have
menus, but the vast majority do. C++Builder makes creating menus easy with the Menu
Designer. The Menu Designer has the following features:
■ It can create both main menus and pop-up menus (speed menus).
■ It provides immediate access to the Code Editor to handle the OnClick events for
menu items.
■ It can insert menus from templates or from resource files.
■ It can save custom menus as templates.
All of the Menu Designer’s commands are accessed via the Menu Designer speed menu or
by interacting with the Object Inspector. Figure 7.18 shows the Menu Designer’s speed
menu.
