Does anyone know why Labels and Frames (and possibly other controls) have a TabIndex

Does anyone know why Labels and Frames (and possibly other controls) have a TabIndex property in VB6? Is there some use for it; some feature of GUI programming I ought to be incorporating in my applications (that I am blissfully unaware of)?

    To confirm what Cody said in the comments. The VB6 manual entry for TabIndex says:

    Controls that can’t receive the focus (Frame and Label controls) remain in the tab order but are skipped during tabbing.

    but

    If you press the access key for a Frame or Label control, the focus moves to the next control in the tab order that can receive the focus.
