[winforms]swiching focus with ENTER key

[peter]

Hi!
I have a many forms with many controls and users are used to use ENTER
key to move/circle through controls on a form. How do i do that without
refferencig all controls on a form to a function?

Thankyou!

You've to use this: (this is an example of the keydown event handler
of the textbox _fooTextBox)

private void _fooTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");
}
}
