If everything is working there, you might try sending some key other than enter just to test it. If only the enter key is failing, it might be due to the textbox having some single-line limitation, perhaps? or maybe some special handling for the enter key...

	public class ConsoleControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl<br />
	{<br />
		private UIIronTextBox.ConsoleTextBox consoleTextBox;<br />

consoleControl1.consoleTextBox.Focus();

Also, if you're just trying to simulate the KeyPressed event, couldn't you just code up method that calls OnKeyPressed override (which will fire the KeyPressed event)?

// Inside your TextBox derivative:
public void ManuallyRaiseKeyPress(...)
{
    base.OnKeyPress(...);
}

// Outside the TextBox derivative
myTextBoxDerivative.ManuallyRaiseKeyPress(...);
