Just crossed my mind - shouldn't we have a possibility to do something like

thisform.taborder[1].SetFocus

I mean, there's the Controls array, but it lists them in the order of instantiation, and lists all the shapes etc, which we don't want to mess with when we're setting focus. I've seen questions like this many times - how do we know which control is the first one?

I've made one custom array property for myself in my base form class - it lists all "tabbable" objects, in exact tab order, so I've solved it for myself. Still, I think we should have had this right out of the box.
