The Enter key historically needs to be caught by the owner windows OK button, hidden if you must.

This is due to 20+ years of MS user interface design guidelines where the primary directive is not to alienate users by having the Enter key perform different tasks based on the gadget / item that owns focus in any one form or window.

I suspect it is small things like this that makes every windows app different so perhaps worth the sometimes illogical approach of a hidden OK button event source, it certainly makes for cleaner event management under the hood.
