 Tab Order
 
 ■ The tab order is the order in which the focus is moved from one control
   to the next when the Tab key is pressed. See: ◄Focus Definition►
 
 ■ By default, Visual Basic assigns tab order to controls in the order in
   which you draw them on a form. Each new control is placed last in the tab
   order.
 
 ■ To change the tab order at design time:
 
   1. Click a control to select it
 
   2. From the Property list box, select TabIndex
 
   3. Type in the tab order number for the control's position
 
   4. Press Enter to accept the setting
      The TabIndex values for all other controls are automatically renumbered
      to reflect the change in tab order. See: ◄TabIndex Property►
 
 ■ You can test the tab order at design time by pressing Tab to move forward
   through the tab order, or Shift+Tab to move backward.
 
 ■ To enable or disable a tab stop at design time:
 
   1. Click a control to select it
 
   2. From the Property list box, select TabStop
 
   3. Select True or False to enable or disable the tab stop
 
   4. Press Enter to accept the setting
