    Enter-key to have tab-key functionality

    Hi,

    I have an application written in vb (2003 dotnet 1.1) which requires a lot
    of user input, mostly numeric. Now I would like to jump from textbox-to-
    textbox when pressing the enter-key, just like using the tab-key.

    I found I have problems with just using .SelectNextCont rol, when for
    example the next control is (temporarily) invisible.

    Should I just override:
    ProcessCmdKey(B yRef msg As Windows.Forms.M essage, ByVal keyData As
    Windows.Forms.K eys)

    Or is there a regular best-practise for this issue?

    Thanks for any suggestions/solutions in advance!

              Not sure I understand. If the control is "temporairl y invisible" then you
              can't set the focus to the control. Am I missing something?

                  You are right, that's why I got an error when using SelectNextContr ol.
                  Although the control is invisible, it may be still the next control (which
                  can not be focused/selected when invisible).
