    Tab order in a GroupBox

    Is there a way to ignore the group box level when setting tab order? I want to jump back and forth between text boxes in two group boxes as the user tabs. The boxes are just for appearance. Thanks.

    You can manually set the tab order for each control. Start with the LAST ONE first, and move backwards. That way, they won't overwrite each other when you change the order.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you mean programmatically or just in the IDE in properties of each text box? I tried it by manually setting the tab index alternating from right to left group boxes, but it still treats them independently.
