Well, calling the control's 'Focus' method is the preferred method. What
are the reasons you do not want to use this method?
 
what i want to do is when the user hits the return/enter key they tab to the
next control. However i want to put this in a class so that all forms can
inherit it

Probably not best done in the Form, but in the Controls you place onto it.

Call [Control].SelectNextControl() in your override for OnKeyDown (or
OnKeyUp; I can never remember which until my program goes pop!)
