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

Question

I have 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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

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

Answer 3

You can do this in the Designer as well, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/837752/setting-the-tabindex-property-of-many-form-controls-in-visual-studio/837787#837787
