<Result>: Character string

Name of the first control in edit in the specified window (this control can take focus and it cannot be invisible or read-only).
Empty string ("") if no control can take focus or if the specified window does not exist.

<Window name>: Optional character string (with or without quotes)

Name of window used.

Remarks

First control in the tab order

The tab order of the window controls is the order in which the controls take focus when pressing the TAB key.

To set the tab order in the window editor, on the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, expand "Tab order" and select "Edit".

The controls taken into account by the tab order are not necessarily Edit controls: Combo Box, Radio Button, List Box controls, etc. can be taken into account by the tab order.
