Do you mean globally throughout your form, or just for a couple controls?

You can check the .KeyPress event of the control.
If the key pressed is [ENTER] then move the Focus to the next control.
If it is not the [ENTER] then do nothing and let the control handle it as normal.

hi,

I just tried out the snippet.but the required functionality can be achieved using both the text box's "KeyUp" and "KeyDown" event.

KeyUpEvent - Handle the Tab key.
KeyDownEvent - Handle the Enter key.

May not be the best of solutions...but works.
