It is not possible to exclude objects from the tab order

Bit of a super-old thread, but if google brings you here for WinCC comfort (as it did for me):

Tab order is accessible from Edit ->Tab sequence, but not if you have selected any objects on the screen.

Also, on my system, it is not possible to exclude objects from the tab order. Instead I made a dummy button that doesn't do anything, is transparent, and has the focus highlighting turned off (set properties->design->focus width to 0). I set that to be first. Doesn't seem to work if you put it in the permanent area, unfortunately, so I put one on every screen.

Hey,

"Tab order is accessible from Edit ->Tab sequence, but not if you have selected any objects on the Screen"

==> This is normal and also if you use WinCC (TIA Portal).

"Also, on my system, it is not possible to exclude objects from the tab order. Instead I made a dummy button that doesn't do anything, is transparent, and has the focus highlighting turned off (set properties->design->focus width to 0)."

==> You can do followings:
Under the properties from the obejct you use "Animations > Enable object"
In order from the tag, you can "Enabled/Disabled" the object.
If the object "disabled" then you have your "exclude object from the tab order...."

Hi Murof 

This Ctrl+Shift (or Shift) trick doesn't seem to function in TIA V15 Pro.

Do you confirm ?

Is there an other way to exclude component form Tab Order in Pro version ?

Hey,

i using TIA V15.1 and there you can deactivate the TAB Order with "Ctrl+Shift+Click" (click are the "left mouse button)....
