How to stop beep when enter is pressed on a text box?

Using VS 2005, C# .NET and Windows CE 5.00 build 1400

When you press ENTER (rather than TAB) to exit a TextBox it beeps and it is
very annoying.
On desktop applications, I can stop it by using e.Handled = true; eg:

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if ( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter )
{
e.Handled = true;
/* do some processing */
}
}

but this does not work on my CE5 device.
Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA

John.

I do the same thing on my applications, but my CE Device doesn´t beep.

Is not an specific configuration of your CE5 Device???

Thanks to that , but I don't think there is anything specific in this area.
I can disable the sounds from control panel but that is not ideal.

I have two devices here.

One falcon from PSC, with windows CE 5.0 too..
It dosn´t do any sound when i hit enter on the textbox to change it´s focus,
rather that the "key event" sound.

This sound occurs at any key down, on all applications.

But i have an MC9090 from Symbol, with the same operational system, and it
does the anoying sound that i are talking about.

I don´t know exatcly what it is, but i think that maybe something on the
windows compilation. Try your software at another device.

Thanks Wagner,
I am using a Datalogic Jet. I will try to find something else to run it on,
and maybe talk to Datalogic about it to see if they can help.

Regards,
John.

An update:
I have tried a different device from the same manufacturer, and the problem
does not occur. Its seems from this, that it does depend on the build of the
Windows image for the device by the manufacturer.
