  • Method Details

    • setTabIndex

      default void setTabIndex(int tabIndex)

      Sets the tabindex attribute in the component. The tabIndex indicates if its element can be focused, and if/where it participates in sequential keyboard navigation:

      • A negative value (usually tabindex = -1 means that the component should be focusable, but should not be reachable via sequential keyboard navigation.
      • tabindex = 0 means that the component should be focusable in sequential keyboard navigation, but its order is defined by the document's source order.
      • A positive value means the component should be focusable in sequential keyboard navigation, with its order defined by the value of the number. That is, tabindex = 4 would be focused before tabindex = 5, but after tabindex = 3. If multiple components share the same positive tabindex value, their order relative to each other follows their position in the document source.

      Parameters:

      tabIndex - the tabindex attribute

    • getTabIndex

      default int getTabIndex()

      Gets the tabindex in the component. The tabIndex indicates if its element can be focused, and if/where it participates in sequential keyboard navigation.

      If there's no such attribute set, it returns the default setting for the element, which depends on the element and on the browser. If the attribute cannot be parsed to int, then an IllegalStateException is thrown.

      Returns:

      the tabindex attribute, or 0 if none

      Throws:

      IllegalStateException - if the returned tabindex from the element is empty or can not be parsed to int
