How to select multiple controls using keyboard only

I have a blind friend who is doing a pretty good job learning VS so far.
he needs to be able to select multiple controls by using the keyboard.
Is there a way to do this ?
To select different controls, he can tab, but holding down shift just tabs
backwards.
He needs to be able to tab through the controls, and select the ones he
needs to align, etc.
He has a program called "Jaws" that reads the controls to his earphones, so
he can tell which one has the current focus.

AFAIS there is no way to do that:

Thanks - I was afraid of that. We couldn't come up with a way ourselves.
He'll just have to set x and y of each control while keeping in mind the
form's height and width and the controls' heights and widths.
And do them one at a time.
It may be easier for him to write a sub for laying out his gui.
