c# - How to move the cursor between textboxes using arrow keys?

I have several TextBoxes and I want the cursor to move from one TextBox to another using arrow keys.

How can I do that?

It looks like this, also the tap moves vertically which is weird.

Thanks.

You can override the form's ProcessCmdKey method, and handle the key press and focusing on text boxes in it.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TextBoxes
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        List<TextBox[]> _textBoxes;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            //Getting a 2 dimentional structure to hold textboxes
            this._textBoxes= new List<TextBox[]>();

            TextBox[] row1 = new TextBox[4];
            row1[0] = textBox1;
            row1[1] = textBox2;
            row1[2] = textBox3;
            row1[3] = textBox4;

            TextBox[] row2 = new TextBox[4];
            row2[0] = textBox5;
            row2[1] = textBox6;
            row2[2] = textBox7;
            row2[3] = textBox8;

            TextBox[] row3 = new TextBox[4];
            row3[0] = textBox9;
            row3[1] = textBox10;
            row3[2] = textBox11;
            row3[3] = textBox12;

            TextBox[] row4 = new TextBox[4];
            row4[0] = textBox13;
            row4[1] = textBox14;
            row4[2] = textBox15;
            row4[3] = textBox16;

            this._textBoxes.Add(row1);
            this._textBoxes.Add(row2);
            this._textBoxes.Add(row3);
            this._textBoxes.Add(row4);
