How can I set the tab order in VB.NET?

I hav开发者_如何学Goe a bunch of buttons on a form and when the person presses TAB I want the focus of the controls move in a specific order. Does anyone know how to do this?

If you have form with lots of control then manage tab index by below method:

• Open form in design mode.
• Click on “View” from toolbar --> “Tab Order” at bottom.

Example:

Then just click on controls one by one in order that you want to set tab order.

---

You can do this in the Designer as well, see Setting the TabIndex property of many form controls in Visual Studio?

---

Each item in your form-designer should have a TabIndex property.

Set the TabIndex in ascending order. (low-to-high)

---

Change the TabIndex property of your controls and enumerate them according to your need.
