Is there any way to set the tab index (tab order) of individual cells in a WinGrid?

We're using the WinGrid as the base class for a control that contains groups of field labels/values. We have it tabbing from field-value cell to field-value cell just fine. The problem is that the fields are grouped in vertical blocks, but the tab order goes from left-to-right instead of moving down (vertically) the fields in a group.

For example, imagine a form that has two columns, one for billing address and another for shipping address. Say you start in the "Name" field for the billing address and press Tab. You would expect to move down to the next field in the billing address (like "Street") but instead you jump over to the right to the "Name" field in the shipping address column. You would typically define a tab index for each field to set the tab order. (This is just an example to illustrate what I'm talking about.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Jim,
There's a TabIndex property on the column.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response. I'm actually talking about a tab index at the cell level, not at the column level. I need the user to work their way down the fields in one column, then over to the next column. My original post has a good example of what I'm talking about.

Thanks!
