partNumber
where integer is in the range 1 through the sum of buttons and fields in the current card or background
The partNumber property retrieves or sets the ordinal position of a button or field (that is, of a part) among the total number of all buttons and fields within the same domain (card or background).
Changing a part's partNumber moves it closer to or farther away from the front.
For example, the order of buttons and fields on a card is as follows:
- button 1
- button 2
- field 1
- field 2
- button 3
The partNumber of field 1 is 3.
