I have few TextBoxes. When i say "Up" arrow in the TextBoxes it should work as "Shift+Tab" functionality i.e cursor should switch to previous indexed TextBox.
I'm able to work perfectly with code

C#

private void txtdeposit_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
   {
    SendKeys.Send("+{TAB}");
   }
}

But the issue is when there is text in any textbox then "Up" arrow functionality is not working. But I'm able to work when there's no text...Suggest me....

There is a way to do what you are currently doing without resorting directly to SendKeys, or any other API function.

Take a look at Control.GetNextControl[^].

The reason that I said 'resorting directly' is that I suspect that the method uses SendKeys down in the bowels. Therefore I am not sure that it will solve your problem. Still, give it a try, you never know.

Good luck. :)
