Well, Control.GetNextControl is a static control that should work even from inside your Custom control although I haven't tested this.

Control c = Control.GetNextControl(this, true);
c.Focus();

I want to use this control on all of our forms, so I made a custom textbox

Hi Scott,

Try the Control.GetNextControl method.  It will give you the next control in the tab order, then simply Focus() the next control.
