First Field on Query property

This is where you can specify whether the cursor should automatically move to the first field in a window when Query mode is entered. A user can put a window into Query mode by choosing Enter Query or Edit Previous Query from the menu, for example. The cursor will also move to the first field when the window is already in Query mode and Enter Query or Edit Previous Query is called.

The first field is the first field specified in the tab-order of the info box that executes the operation. For example, in the case of a Parent with an embedded detail, when a query is performed in the detail the cursor will move to the first field in the tab-order of the controls that are part of the detail.

NOTE: This property can be set at Generic level and overridden, if desired, at subclass level.
