Arguments: dialog-item
Returns the value of the tab-position property of the argument.
If the tab key moves focus among controls on a dialog, this property indicates how many tabs are needed to get to this control. Tab position 0 means that control has focus when the dialog is displayed. Tab position 1 means pressing tab once moves focus to the control, and so on.
(Note that keyboard shortcuts can be used to jump to a control with a
keypress. The keyboard shortcut is defined by placing a tilde (~)
before the keyboard shortcut letter. The keyboard shortcut is then
Alt-[the letter]. The static-text control cannot
have focus so if its value has a tilde before a letter, that provides
a keyboard shortcut to the next control in the tab order. See the
discussion Using a static text as a keyboard shortcut to jump to a
control in the static-text entry.)
