Answer 1

I would recomend you to set indexes ones agian - in form designer:

1. click on View menu on top, and select TabOrder.

2. then with a mouse click define new order (1st click on both groupboxes, then go into each of them and click control by control - as you want them to be aligned).

Then again do 1st point (to close tbOrder).

Answer 2

Each 'container' has its own tab order and so the controls in GroupBox1 will therefore be tabbed through before those in GroupBox2.

Yes I now but I want to know is there any way Tab will go to 1,0 texbox after 0,2. I dont want to do it manually  like on leave event of textbox 0,2 set focus on text 1.0

You can set it by code:

Subscribe to KeyUp event or button1 control:

        private void button1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
            {
                textBox3.Focus();
            }
        }

Answer 7

In this case focus will not come to button.  When I'll come to button using tab then keyup event fire and focus goes to textbox.

You can set it by code:

Subscribe to KeyUp event or button1 control:

        private void button1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
            {
                textBox3.Focus();
            }
        }
