You just set up the
TabIndexproperty properly, so that it’s sequential from top to bottom. Then it’ll work automatically and you won’t need any code to move around the focus.So in other words, set the top
TextBoxTabIndexto 1, the next one you set to 2 etc and then one at the bottom will have the highest number (of the textboxes, you probably want to have even higher indexes for any OK buttons and similar so that the user can jump to them after editing all the textboxes).You can find more info about it here:
