Events cascade from the top down. Meaning from parent to child to inner child to inner inner child...

You won't see the tab key in the event for the textbox.keypress because the form sees it first and doesn't pass it on.

Catch the Form's keypress and handle it there. Of course, you will need to check who the active control is make sure its only the control you want to handle.
