[comp.sys.next] Tabbing in Forms using IB

wjgilbert@poppy.waterloo.edu (William Gilbert) (08/22/90)

In building an application with Interface Builder, what do I have to do 
so that the TAB jumps from one form to another?

For example, in the Draw application in the NeXT developers examples 
there is an inspector panel containing the four fields "Line width", 
"Gray", "width" and "height".  When entering values in these fields 
the TAB cycles amongst all the fields.  "Line width" and "Gray" are 
in one form called "Form 1", "width" is in a form called "Form" and 
"height" is in a field also called "Form 1" (My IB will not let me 
label two forms with the same name using the Miscellaneous Panel in the 
Form Inspector).  

Where in the code, or in the IB, is this action of TAB implemented?

Just ALTERNATE-Drag on the Form that is already in your mywindow of your
new app. That creates a Matrix of Forms. Create as many as you want.
You now have the ability to TAB around (so to speak!)
