HI,

Here is the step..

1. set winforms KeyPreview to True
2. On the key_down event add the following code..
if (e.KeyValue == 13) SendKeys.Send("{Tab}");

Is this is what you wanted..??

Hi,
This is a bit of a cheat method, and it will remove the possibility for
using the enter key, you should override ProcessCmdKey to process various
command keys as follows, to do this you must base your class on Control:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
if(keyData==(Keys.Enter))
{
//change the focus
}
return true;
}
