It's better to repeat the phrase "This > is Windows Standard" until users will get quiet. We still live in (on?) FPD26. I can already hear them "what? Windows standard? We were far better off typing single handed... now we have to use both hands on the keyboard and reach for the mouse every minute... can you get us back to the old program?". All my textbox (except EditBox) etc classes intercept the Enter in the keypress event and emulate a Tab key. Just in case. It's not any slower and it works.
