The components of interest are called FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel. I think it is easier to configure them by coding manually but the VS form designer does offer at least some support. I have not tried this in a while, but recall that if you put one of these panel containers on a form, than the designer assumes that subsequent controls added to the form via the keyboard will be children of the panel, which, in turn, is a child of the form. In general, it is helpful to go into the document outline view if you have trouble putting focus on the component of interest via the keyboard. It is also worth checking the context menu options (Shift+F10 or right click), since it often has useful shortcuts or property assignment options related to the area of focus.
