11.4.5..Tab Sequence.......................................................................................

When using the controls of a dialog, the user may choose to press Tab to navigate from

one control to another. This process follows a sequence of controls that can receive input

in an incremental order. To include a control in this sequence, at design time, set its Tab

Stop property to True.

If you are creating your control with code, to make sure that it can fit in the tab sequence,

add the WS_TABTOP style. Here is an example:

void CSecondDlg::OnThirdControl()

{

// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

Memo->Create("EDIT", "Voice Recorder",

WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP, );

CWnd *CanTab = new CWnd;

CanTab->Create("BUTTON", "&Apply",
