Not sure why you are setting lastFocused.Text equal to itself after sending the key.
What is wrong with what you have?

If you mean "closes the form and returns DialogResult.OK to the calling code", then it's simple.
Drop your button on the form.
Go to the Properties Pane for the button.
Set the DialogResult property to OK
Go to the Properties Pane for the containing form.
Set the AcceptButton property to the button.

Done.
Now, when you press ENTER on your keyboard, or the button itself, the form will close.
