Solution 2

No, you don't set it properly. Don't forget two things: 1) Tab stop should be enabled, see System.Windows.Forms.Control.TabStop; 2) control containers, parents of your controls also have TabIndex which should be taken into account.

Solution 3

Read more about the tabindex property here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534654(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Make sure that the tab index property is not negative.
