Solution 2

All you need to do is set TabIndex property for each of your controls ...
In your case, if tabIndex of your control is '5' then set the tabIndex property of the next control you want to move to '6'..

If you want to set focus then you can do it using

C#

protected void ListBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ListBox2.Focus();
    }
