What is "tab control"? Tag your UI library: WPF, Forms, ASP.NET, what?

Each form has properties such as AcceptButton, CancelButton and HelpButton. If you declare your login button to be the AcceptButton, then the user can just press the Enter/Return key to press the button.

Hope this helps

for each action i forced to press tab key or mouse. i need to use enter button for that. i want to use enter button after entering user name. and so on

That is not standard behaviour and will confuse your users. You should stick to Windows standard implementations so that users can easily use your application. The standard behaviour for this is when they have entered the username they press tab to take them to the password box, when they have entered their password they press enter to continue.

Solution 3

VB

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            Me.PWDTXTBOXNAME.Select()
        End If

WRITE THE ABOVE CODE KEY_DOWN EVENT OF TEXTBOX OF USER.....SAME WAY IN THE KEY_DOWN EVENT OF TEXTBOX OF PASSWORD WRITE THIS CODE

VB

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            Me.BUTTONNAME.Select()
        End If
