I'm having VFP withdrawal symptom while programming Winform Data Entry forms.
Here are a few questions:
-Is there some convenient way that I'm missing to have the focus proceed to the next tab index when the Enter key is hit, as it does in VFP? I can see how program it by trapping the keydown event, but is there a simpler way?
-Is there some way to limit the number of characters keyed, as we can do with an input mask?
-Is there some way to make the characters show as uppercase, as we can do with an input mask? I can make it upper OK, but I'd like the user to see it transformed to upper the way we can with VFP. Again, I can probably do it in the keydown event, but is there a simpler way?
-Is there some way to handle decimal input the way VFP does? I tried the masked textbox and it seems kludgey to me.

I checked around the C# forums but most of them think that the way C# does it out of the box is great.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
