Converting "Enter" to "Tab"

How can I convert the "Enter" key to a "Tab" so my application will act like
"Tab" has been hit when the "Enter" key has actually been depressed. This
gives type-writer functionality to programs.

I was able to do this very simply in VB6, however, I have not found a method
to do this in .NET.

There are possible side effects to this approach, but if you really need to
do this then you may consider an application message filter. A short
discussion can be found at the link below.
