overriding the OnKeyPress event

I need to get my tab control to treat the ENTER key like a TAB key... Is
there an easy way to do this?

In the Keydown event, you should be able to intercept the return key and use
"SendKeys" to send the tab key message.

Another option is to override the ProcessCmdKey function if you are
subclassing your tab control.
