AccesKey property of UIControl class can help to resolve your problem. Sample code is:

VB

<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1"
  AccessKey="Y"
  Text="Press Alt-Y to get focus here"
  Columns="45"
  runat="server"/>

Override ProcessCmdKey..

C#

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
      {
          if (keyData == (Keys.Alt | Keys.D1))
          {
              textBox1.Focus();
          }
          else if (keyData == (Keys.Alt | Keys.D2))
          {
              textBox2.Focus();
          }

          return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
      }

Write the following codes
--------------------

C#

label1.Text = "lable&1";
label1.TabIndex = 0;
textBox1.TabIndex = 1;

At run time when you press Alt+1, it will focus on TextBox.

If there is any Button control then write as
button1.Text = "button&2";

If you press Alt+2 at run time, it is selected.

I succeed to solve it in my self:

You first need to set the keypreview of the form to true.

VB

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
        If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Alt Then
            If e.KeyCode = Keys.D1 Then
                TextBox1.Focus()
            ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.D2 Then
                TextBox2.Focus()
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
