I've implemented a custom form designer. I want to allow users to set the
tab order in a similar fashion to how Visual Studio allows you to do so by
clicking on fields in the design area after selecting "Tab Order" from the
view menu. I'm guessing there is some sort of interface that must be
implemented but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Hi Matt,

I can't seem to find it.

The "Tab Order" from the view menu in Visual Studio is a design time
function implemented by Visual Studio.

IMO, there's no interface for such a design time function. Instead, you
need to implement a behavior for the form designer to get what you want.

For more information on how to implement a behavior, please refer to the
following MSDN document:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.design.behavio
r.behaviorservice(VS.80).aspx

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
