What am I?

What you are looking at right now, is simply of a different class. In my class, I always have a parent, and I can have several children. One child is specific to your focus, but can be changed with a tab. I am part of some office suites, but not all.

A window?

Good guess, but the answer needs to be much more specific. There are enough clues to figure it out, though it is VERY technical.

Well, more specifically, I’m looking at a window of class Internet Explorer_Server, which has both parent and possibly children. I guess it depends what I’m looking with. WRT the office suite, I guess it could be a userform, with numerous child controls or maybe even a MDI child window.

Getting closer. There is a specific type of ‘window’ which the clues point to. The ‘moving’ focus is the catch. It’s a little known design quirk of something specific in a particular office application
