New to Visual Basic
Hi Experts,
I am brand new to Visual Basic.
I have this function here whereby it will execute anytime user hit on "F2".
I want the focus to set on the next "Tabindex". I do not know the properties well, can someone assist?
I know how to achieve by indicating for every single control but I sounds stupid. It should have a way to identify where is the tabindex on focus now and is just the matter of adding 1 to navigate to the next one.
Thanks advance for your assistance.

Thank you. Actually, if I want to use this, of course it will work. But my real concern is not to just get it work.
My main purpose is to know how to access the properties of the controls within a form without having to name the controls like "To find out which control is currently focused or activve".

Well, something very close...
Just wondering if I can get what is the tabindex of the activecontrol and add one to it to navigate to the next control?

I don't know why you would want to do it this way...
