Re: Getting tabOrder of control

There is no number that you can get, but you can calculate that if you need
the number.

You can use GetNextDlgTabItem to enumorate the controls in their tab order.

//returns a 1 based index, -1 if the window was not found
int CMyDialog::GetZOrderIndex(CWnd *pWndToSearchFor)
{
    int i = 0;
    CWnd *pFirstWnd = GetNextDlgTabItem(NULL); //Get the first one
    CWnd *pWnd = pFirstWnd;
    while (1)
    {
        i++;
        if (pWnd->GetSafeHwnd() == pWndToSeachFor->GetSafeHWnd())
        {
            return i;
        }
        pWnd = GetNextDlgTabItem(pWnd);
        if (pWnd == pFirstWnd)
        {
            return -1;
        }
    }
}
