Description

TabStop is a TabStop property which indicates if the control can be focused when using the Tab or Shift+Tab keys to navigate between controls on a form. The default value for the property is False. At design-time, the Lazarus IDE sets the value to True in newly created control instances.

When set to True, the windows style flags are updated to include the value WS_TABSTOP in the CreateParams method.

Changing the value for the property causes the internal tab order list to be updated, and a CM_TABSTOPCHANGED control message is performed for the control.

TabStop is used in methods like FindNextControl, and may be updated in methods like Insert.

This description is the one of Controls.TWinControl.TabStop.
