int

A value that indicates the preferred order of navigation.

When no value is specified, the default value is MaxValue. The system then attempts a tab order based on the declaration order in the XAML or child collections.

Initial focus is set to the element with the lowest TabIndex that can receive focus. In a tie, the first element in the visual tree receives focus. Child elements of container controls are ignored.
