    Tab Order on forms

    It was fairly easy to set the Tab order of controls on a form in VB6- Start at the last one - set the Tab Index to 0 - go to the second last one set the tab index to 0 - this would set the index of the last one to 1 etc. By the time you got to the first control - the tab order was correct.
    This dosn't seem to happen in VB.NET, everything stays at zero. Is there a Tab order assistant in VB.NET that I'm missing - like VBAssist

    Any ideas

    regards

    Here is a tip to make life easier. In design mode, click View -> Tab Order. You'll see numbers on all the controls on your form. Click on the controls in the order that you want. I got this from VBTV.

    tab order on forms

    Thank you Pierre

    this is the same functionality I used to have with Sheridans VB Assist for previous versions of VB. I had a feeling it was now incorportated in VB.NET but just didn't know where it was

    once again thanks
