    Changing Tab Order

    I have created a form in Visual Basic with multiple text box controls. I need to change the tab order so that the focus goes sequentially down the list of text boxes on the form when I press the tab key on the keyboard. Does anyone know how to do this in Visual Basic? I know how to do it in Visual C++ but can't seem to figure it out in Visual Basic.

    Any clues will be appreciated.

    In VB we've a TabIndex property for every visible control. it can have values starting from 0.
    You can modify the value of this property accordingly for any control to change its Tab Order.
