Does anyone know if there is a work-around for changing the tabindex of controls on a windows form?

I have a full-screen form with lots of small labels and textboxes, and when I select

View > Tab Order

the numbers painted on the screen obscure the location of the controls. Is there a way to make the font smaller, or eleiminate the tabindex number assignment for labels?

Thanks,

Hi BGood,

There's no option in Visual Studio to set the font of tab order design feature. In addition, I'm afraid there's no way to eliminate the value of the TabIndex property of controls on a form.

Hi Linda,

Thanks for the response.

Too bad. A more user-friendly tab order utility would be a good addition to visual studio's form deisgner. Currently, I have a data entry screen with 80 databound controls, with a label for each. You can imagine how difficult it is to set the tab indexes correctly for the form.
