KeyPress on NumericUpDown

[jrl237]

I hope someone has run into this before and has a solution.

I have a Windows Form that contains several textboxes and comboboxes. I want the user to be able to quickly navigate through the form, so pressing ENTER in each control skips to the next control. Everything works fine, except for the one numericupdown control I have. It works properly (focus is shifted on ENTER) but it emits a DING every time, as though the keypress wasn't being handled and the ENTER was being passed to the control.

I know this will be quite annoying to the user.

Here's the code I'm using. It seems to work for everything else:

  Private Sub nudQuan_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles nudQuan.KeyDown
    bKeyHandled = False
    If e.KeyCode = 13 Then
      bKeyHandled = True
      txtLocation.Focus()
    End If
  End Sub

  Private Sub nudQuan_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles nudQuan.KeyPress
    e.Handled = True
  End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not :

Private Sub NumericUpDown1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles NumericUpDown1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(13) Then
SendKeys.Send(vbTab)
End If
End Sub

Same result. It works to move the focus, but it dings like the ENTER keycode is getting passed to the control.

What is now the question ? The ENTER key or validation !

And what is emits ?

The question is, why does Windows pass the ENTER keycode to the numericupdown control when e.handled is set to true in the keypress event? It doesn't do this on textbox or comboboxes.
