UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Window}}
Sets a window's tab order number.

<pre>
WindowSetTabOrder(windowName, tabOrder)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;windowName : <code>string</code> – Name of the window.
;tabOrder : <code>number</code> – The tab order number.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* <code>tabOrder</code> is truncated towards zero to a whole number and stored on the window. Read it back with [[API:WindowGetTabOrder|WindowGetTabOrder]].
* The stock UI sets it on windows that need tabbed focus, such as edit boxes (see the comment in the example).
* There is no lock check in this function.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'WindowSetTabOrder': Window %s does not exist</code>

== Example ==
From <code>ea_helpwindow/source/ea_window_appeal.lua</code>:
<pre>
if sectionData.tabOrder ~= nil then -- 3.5) If the window is an edit box(or any other window requiring tabbed focus), set its tab order
WindowSetTabOrder(newWindowName, sectionData.tabOrder)
end
</pre>

* [[API:WindowGetTabOrder|WindowGetTabOrder]]
* [[API:WindowAssignFocus|WindowAssignFocus]]
