    foreach (GridViewRow gvr in theGridView.Rows)
    {
        DropDownList dropDown1 = (DropDownList)gvr.FindControl("dropDown1");
        dropDown1.TabIndex = ++currentTabIndex;

        TextBox inputField1 = (TextBox)gvr.FindControl("inputField1");
        inputField1.TabIndex = ++currentTabIndex;

        TextBox inputField2 = (TextBox)gvr.FindControl("inputField2");
