Sets or returns a value that determines whether the UpDown control automatically uses a control as its buddy control, based on its tab order.
Syntax
object.AutoBuddy [= value]
The AutoBuddy property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| value | A boolean expression that determines the buddy control, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | The UpDown control uses the previous control in the tab order as its buddy control. If no controls with a previous tab index can be used as a buddy control, the UpDown control uses the first available control with a higher tab index as its buddy control. |
| False | (Default) The UpDown control uses the setting in the BuddyControl property as its buddy control. |
Remarks
Setting the AutoBuddy property to True also sets the BuddyControl property. Setting AutoBuddy to False clears the BuddyControl property.
