• daydreamsy2k order of radio buttons

  I have 3 radio buttons, when I press the arrow keys the order is 1, 3 then 2 can I changed that If you are on the designer, you can use View->Tab Order.

  I have a mult. line comment textbox, I want to set the edit position to the end of the textbox after the form is activated.
