Thankj you Nivedita. I think that what you meant when you said static is different from what most of us understood you to mean. We (at least I) understand better now.

check Focus Events part which using different Text Box's properties: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969768.aspx

Sam Hobbs · Answer

First ensure that the TabStop property is true for every control that you want to tab to and false for the ones you don't want to tab to. Visual Studio usually sets that property by default to whatever value is appropriate but you should check it at least in case it has been changed. Then in the VS menu use View | Tab Order (while in the designer for the form). Numbers will appear next to each control with the TabStop property set to true; that shows the tab order. To change the tab order click on each control starting with the first and then each control in sequence to set the tab order. When you have finished use View | Tab Order again.
