Doesn't that assume that the parent of the button is the form? What if the button is currently on a user control or panel? Should you be using TopLevelControl istead? I'm asking because I don't really know the answer.

Maybe it should be redesigned if you have to explain it that much.

Matt: The code (in button click) doesnt assume that the button is on the form.I am casting the Parent of the button to a control and hence this code would work if the button is on a panel or userControl since the SelectNextControl would get called on the panel or userControl in such a case. But if you want to by-pass the parent-hiearchy and focus the control on the main (TOPLEVEL) then you can call the TopLevelControl.
