Sorry, just got around to cleaning out the spam filters, and let this through a 
week late. 

I've been busy. :)

Re: [dabo-users] Tab-Index of UI-Objects?

I'm not leaving Django.  I have had great success with Django.  I see no 
reason to leave Django.  Django works with almost anything I've come 
across - that includes Angular, React, etc..  BTW check out 'vue'.


I am moving to Electron for desktop applications - only.  Don't get me 
wrong Dabo is more than functional.  It's just that Dabo's UI is based 
on wxPython and wxPython is preventing Dabo from moving forward and the 
use of python 3.x.  Python 2.7.x is fine but most folks are moving 
forward to 3.x.  Also wxPython (even Phoenix) is not adding any bells 
and whistles where as CSS is allowing so many in the web world.


Honestly, I'm not to sure about Electron's future.  It is using Chrome 
and I know that is not going away anytime soon.  But I have to be 
concerned that Google might drop support due to lack of general interest 
in desktop apps.  I was at first concerned with the size of an Electron 
app.  But I realized that as I added pages the size did not change 
much.  Performance is good if not better than Dabo on the desktop.  So 
there is a lot to like.



As far as NodeJS - well I like the fact that it is well supported by the 
community - but so is Django.  I don't believe NodeJS's asynchronous I/O 
is faster than Django when comes to serving data - at least not for 
small websites.  So I wouldn't leave Django for NodeJS.

Re: [dabo-users] Tab-Index of UI-Objects?

[john]

Personally I don't use Class Designer or a .cdxml file.  I find it very 
easy to manually create the form.  I guess I started doing because in 
the beginning the Class Designer was not easy to work with - especially 
try to add a new control or to move one.


So today I just move the control's code to the order I want and location 
required by the task.


I too like the dGridSizer.  I use it all the time and it has helped me 
with spacing, sizing, and positions of the controls within a panel.


Today the only issue I have with Dabo is the fact that wxPython does not 
have a stable version that supports python 3.x.  Of course that's not 
Dabo's fault.


To be honest I believe I will soon will be moving on to Electron (uses 
html,css,JavaScript, Chrome, NodeJS to create the ui for a desktop app).

Normally, the order or tab order is set to match top to bottom and left
to right within a panel (and of course a sizer can also influence the
order).

  There is one property 'TabStop' True or False that is available.

That I have found, but it is no use to me in my situation, since I want
TabStop but just a different order.


That said, take a look at dDialog.py around line 365:
  for pos, btn in enumerate(buttons[1:]):
  btn.MoveAfterInTabOrder(buttons[pos-1])

The above is used for the class->_addControls.

Hello,

is it possible to set a kind of tab-index in a dabo-Form?

I have got a dPage-Object with a lot of dTextBoxes, dDropDownLists and
so on but they appear in a different order on the Page than I want to
step through them with the tabulator-key. The "tab-index" seems to
depend only on the position on the Page. At least I have not found a
corresponding property in the Object Inspector. Or did I just miss it?

Thanks in advance for your anwsers,
