setting tab order on WinForms

Hi,

Is there an easy way to set tab order in a WinForms app?

in an MFC project you can use "Format -> Tab Order"

for a WinForms app this option isn't there so I have to go to each
component and select the "TabIndex" and type in the number

Is there an equivalent to the MFC option since it's much quicker?

One important thing is that the FORM must be selected (and not a control) in
order to have this menu item visible!
