vrf Setting Properties (color) of buttons, changing tab order

Joel,

>From what little I know about VEE, my interpretation of VEE panel
behavior:

1. Generally, the focus is on the first object in the panel.
   (object order determined left -> right and top -> bottom)

2. When present, data input objects like Constants, Sliders, Toggles,
Selection, etc., have priority over "OK" object and will get the focus
irrespective of their position relative to the OK object(s).

I am not into VEE7 yet, but as Mike pointed out you could probably
define the order in VEE7.
