Sorry, I focused on the ColorizedTextBox versus the Enter problem. Windows standard uses a Tab versus a Enter. So to implement an Enter, you can implement this logic yourself by inheriting the StrataFrame texbox ( or any textbox for that matter) and then override the ProcessCmdKey method and check for the Enter. If the enter was pressed, then you would just call the SelectNext method on the textbox.

This related to standard .NET over StrataFrame, but maybe this will get you pointed in the right direction.

You really shouldn't be using a ColorizedTextBox as this control has been deprecated and actually the control taking it's place is the new SyntaxEditor. The ColorizedTextBox is nothing more than a RTF with additional logic...the SyntaxEditor control goes a lot further, but in either case, you should be using a different control.

You should be using a TextBox or MaskedTextbox for this type of data entry as they are might lighter weight and this is the type of area for which they are inteded versus an RTF control.
