It is important to note that if you will get an annoying "ding" or warning sound each time that the control is expecting an associated button control and e.Handled = true isn't always the answer to rid yourself of the noise/sound/ding.

If the control (i.e. single-line textbox) is expecting an associated button to 'ENTER' your entry, then you must also deal with the 'missing' control.

e.Handled = e.SuppressKeyPress = true;

This may be helpful when getting rid of the 'ding' sound.

For what it's worth- in my circumstance my users needed to use the "ENTER KEY" as we were transitioning from a terminal/green-screen application to a windows app and they were more used to "ENTER-ing" through fields rather than tabbing.

All these methods worked but still kept the annoying sound until I added e.SuppressKeyPress.
