If that's the case, the code becomes a bit more tricky (you will need to get a reference to next column and check if it's read only or not, etc.) but doable.

Or, I just thought of one idea - you can bindevent Keypress to form's method. Each textbox will determine if it's readonly or not and if it is, it will just do NODEFAULT and TAB, so it will be passed to the next column.
