In our application, we were using the standard windows CheckBox.
We have an Overrides onkeypress to trap the ENTER key and send a TAB (so enter moves to the next field on the form). This works great, and for the user to toggle a checked/non-checked state, the space bar is hit.
When using the RadCheckBox, the space bar still changes the checked state, but also when i hit ENTER, it changes the checked state and moves to the next field.
I do not want it to change the checked state on the ENTER, i only want it to move to the next field.
Thanks.

It is possible to create a derivative of RadCheckBox and override its OnKeyDown method which toggles the state, prevent the base logic and perform the desired action. I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference:
public class CustomRadCheckBox : RadCheckBox
{
public override string ThemeClassName
{
get
{
return typeof(RadCheckBox).FullName;
}
}
protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter)
{
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");
return;
}
base.OnKeyDown(e);
}
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
