A system and method is provided to display a common display page on a
variety of display devices using the item's tab order property to
determine the display order. Controls that are displayed on a display
device typically have a tab order. When a window that has controls is
displayed, the cursor is typically placed at the control with the lowest
(i.e., first) tab order. When the user presses the tab key, the cursor
moves to the control corresponding to the next lowest tab order. This
allows the designer to design a single window (or panel) that is
displayed differently on constrained devices. However, even though the
window is displayed differently, using tab order mapping maintains a
consistent visible proximity between controls despite the type of display
device being used by the user.
