1- Handle the TextBox.KeyDown event. 2- In the handler call NextTextBox.Focus() method;

i am new in C# so that can't understand how to get help from your hints. request u to explain a little. showing just two textbox (like textbox1 and textbox2)

Alright! I guess atleast you know the PropertiesGrid, right? 1- Select TextBox1. Open PropertiesGrid. Open Events tab -little lightning button to the top-. DoubleClick on KeyDown event. 2- The code should show. Add these lines

if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter)
TextBox2.Focus();

3- Err... That's it!:-D

adding to what Nader said, you can further fine-tune by querying TabStop and TabIndex properties of the text boxes (controls where applicable) and compare TabIndex to dynamically set focus to the control which is next in the TabIndex order. regards.
