Setting focus to a control

hi, I am using VB.Net 2005. The form contains many controls. When the tab or enter key in the keyboard is pressed I want the focus to move to the next control in the form in some order. Please tell me how can I do this.

Thanks in Advance

This is based on Visual Studio 2008. You're using 2005. You mileage may vary.

Open the form that you are talking about where you want to change the tab order for the focusing of controls. It should be open on your screen as if you were going to add more controls.

Go up to the menus of Visual Studio.
File Edit View Refactor Project Build Data Format |

With the left mouse button Click on the View menu...
Scroll down to the 8th choice named "Tab Order"
Click on "Tab Order" with the left mouse button.

Little numbers will appear at each of your controls. That's the current order of focus for tabbing. Click on those numbers in the order you *want* to tab in.
