Not clear. Invoke for what control? Why in the event handle of the button (for which "Space" works as Click invocation)? Why at all?

Can you elaborate more what actually you want to achieve? What kind of tab or space you want automatically invoke?

As stated by others you need to be more clear. Maybe what you want is to allow the user to enter text in a when certain information is complete, more onto the next control? I that is what you are trying to do, then you can monitor the user keystrokes with the KeyUp event (if you want to stop input you would monitor the KeyDown and then cancel KeyPress), and when has completed, do a SetFocus on another control.

You can monitor the text changed event: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.textchanged.aspx[^] and then use the textBox1.Focus() to put the focus on the next cell. You can also change the value of the textbox, but remember you may want to change the SelStart and SelLength which determine selected characters in the textbox.
