Argument	Type	Use	Description
status	Character	Input	specifies a value indicating whether the widget accepts the _tab method: ON accepts _tab, OFF does not accept _tab

Details

Use _setTabbable if you want to tab to objects that do not normally receive the _tab method, such as Graphic Text or SAS/GRAPH Output objects.

Some hosts perform their own tabbing, so making a widget tabbable may have no effect.

ON sends a _tab method to the widget when the user hits the TAB key; OFF does not send a _tab method to the widget when the user hits the TAB key.

Example

_setTabbable allows the Graphic Text object, GText, to receive the _tab method.

gtext._setTabbable('ON');
