Return Value
Type: boolean
true if the control is skipped when the user presses the TAB key to move to the control that is associated with the data source; otherwise, false.
Remarks
If the enabled property is true, the allowEdit property is false, and the skip property is true, the user cannot change the contents of the control but can still copy the contents of the control.
