private void button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Set the focus to the first shape (index 0).
    Shape selectedShape = ((Shape) shapeContainer1.Shapes.get_Item(0));
    selectedShape.Focus();
}

Private Sub Button1_Click() Handles Button1.Click
    ' Set the focus to the first shape (index 0).
    ShapeContainer1.Shapes.Item(0).Focus()
End Sub
