Hi, I have two controls in my silverlight application, textbox1 and textbox2. KeyDown="textBox1_KeyDown " /> On KeyDown event of textbox1 by pressing enter key focus will shift to textbox2 as below, private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key.Equals(Key.Enter)) { textBox2.Focus(); } } Hope this will help you. Thanks.
