Edit controls facility changes tab order

[ebalci]

Hi, 

While designing my UIR for a new project I realized that when I use the 'Edit controls' facility to change the attributes of multiple controls at a time, the tab order changes.

I noticed that because the UIR constants are critical for my app and they are modified automatically in the header file according to the tab order.

If I modify the attributes one-by-one then the tab order is preserved.

Is this a bug really or am I missing a point here?

(I'm using CVI 8.5.1)

Yes, it looks like the tab order can change when editing multiple controls. Can you post the UIR and explain which controls you're editing to reproduce the bug that you're seeing?

Hi jared,

I'm attaching the UIR file. The tab order is correct in this file. I've set it such that it increases from left to right and top to bottom.

Try, for instance, selecting mutiple buttons and modifying thier text styles.

Check the tab order and you'll see that it is changed.

Thanks for providing the UIR and for reporting this bug. Unfortunately, it was reported too late to get into the upcoming 9.0 release, but we'll try to fix it in the maintenance release.
