How do I simulate a tab event in code?

[Bill]

I would like to trap TextChanged events and validate them for correct values
from values coming in from a pen panel. If the values are valid, I want to
automatically tab to the next control.

But.... How do I raise the tab event in software?

Have you looked at SendKeys? It feels like a hack sometimes but it's there
for a reason.

SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");

There's also GetNextControl(...).
Might work out better.

You can set the SelectedIndex property of the TabControl as well.
