Not a question; the problem is not clear at all. Do a single method, please.

sry 4 that,
see, a data entry operator is more friendly with enter button. one way for me is to write the code for each and every text box and give its focus to another text box. it was perfect when i have 5 to 8 text box with me. now the fig. goes to 58. thats why i need a single mthod to control all text box. I hope now the problem is clear to you.

Solution 1

Use the TextBox.TabIndex[^] property. The way you wanted to move from one textbox to another. just increase the number start from 1 to 58.

Don't use the enter key when you have tab key.

tab index is set as said. but dont want to use tab button for moving from one textbox to another. see, a data entry operator is more friendly with enter button. thats why i need single method for movement.
