How to detect tab key pressing in C#?

Question

I want to detect when tab key is pressed in a textBox and focus the next textbox in the panel.

I have tried out keyPressed method and keyDown method. But when I run the program and debug those methods are not calling when the tab key is pressed. Here is my code.

private void textBoxName_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
    {
        textBoxUsername.Focus();
    }
}

private void textBoxName_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar==(char)Keys.Tab)
    {
        textBoxUsername.Focus();
    }
}

Please correct me.Thank you.

Answer 1

Why do you need that complication at all? WinForms does it for you automatically. You just need to set the correct tab order.

Answer 2

go to the properties of text box and assign correct order of tabindex
