Setting the TabIndex property in VS 2005

[Barry Flynn]

Visual Studio 2005

I have a vague recollection that it is possible to set an option which
causes the TabIndex property to be displayed on each control.
You could then set the required tabindex number by just clicking on each
control in the right sequence.
The idea was that doing that would be easier than clicking on each control,
going to the Propetties wndow, setting the tabindex, then clicking on the
next control etc.

Is it possible to set the TabIndex property in that way, or is my memory
faulty.

Thanks

Vie -> Tab Order

I can't see Tab Order (or anything to do with Tabs) in the View menu.

What controls are these? winform? asp.net? wpf?

For winform, it should definitely be there... if not, have you edited your
menus? It looks like it also appears on the "Layout" toolbar, or if you
"Customize..." it is on the Commands tab, View -> Tab Order

Any joy?

It is a windows forms project - VB if that is relevant.

I haven't knowingly edited the menus.
It wasn't on the Layout Toolbar.
But Customize seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for your help.
