Description

Pointer_Only_State determines how tab buttons will respond to the mouse. When set to true, the tab button will never take the focus. Clicking on a tab button will cause the tab page to be displayed and for the focus to be moved to the first focusable object in the page. This is a non standard windows behavior but may be useful in some data entry conditions.

When false, the default, button or the first focusable object will take the focus based on the setting of skip_button_mode which when set to SBM_smart will provide standard windows button navigation behavior.

Default is false.
