Method for changing the Enter key to the Tab key in WinForm to achieve focus transfer

This article describes the method of changing the Enter key to the Tab key in WinForm, which has certain practical value when developing C# applications. Share it for your reference.

The specific implementation code is as follows:

/// <summary>
/// Methods related to form control control/// </summary>
public class ControlTools
{
    private Form frm;

    public ControlTools(Form frm)
    {
       = frm;
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Set the input of all subcontrols on the form to Tab    /// </summary>
    public void EnterToTab()
    {
       = true;

       += new KeyPressEventHandler(frm_KeyPress);
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Register the KeyPress event of the form    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="sender"></param>
    /// <param name="e"></param>
    private void frm_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
      if ( == (char))
      {
        (, true, true, true, true);
      }
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Set the input of all subcontrols of a certain control (TextBox ComboBox) to Tab    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="groupControl">Container Control</param>    public void EnterToTab(Control groupControl)
    {
      foreach (Control control in )
      {
        if (control is TextBox || control is ComboBox)
           += new KeyPressEventHandler(control_KeyPress);
      }
    }
    /// &lt;summary&gt;
    /// Register the KeyPress event of the control    /// &lt;/summary&gt;
    /// &lt;param name="sender"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
    /// &lt;param name="e"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
    private void control_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
      if ( == 13)
      {
        ("{Tab}");
         = false;
      }
    }
}

I hope that the method of changing the Enter key to the Tab key described in this article will be helpful to everyone's C# programming design.
