[RESOLVED] [2008] Stop Beep sound when pressing Enter on TextBox

[BlueMatrix]

Hello to the community,

My working environment:
OS : Vista
VS :2008

If I press Enter key when a TextBox has focus, a BEEP sound plays.

I want to prevent this sound.

( I want to handle this key by KeyDown event to go next control using Control.Select)

Please help me

You can try Console.Beep which beeps through the computer speaker if there is one.

your best bet is to set the forms keypreview property to True and handle the event at the form level in the KeyPress event. To stop the beep you add the line e.Handled = True

an Example:

    Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = ControlChars.Cr Then
            e.Handled = True
            Me.SelectNextControl(Me.ActiveControl, True, True, False, True)
        End If
    End Sub

You handle the KeyPress event of the textbox, and test if e.KeyChar = Chr(13) then set e.Handled = True and select the next control in tab order.
Something like this:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then
            e.Handled = True 'This prevents the beep to sound
            Me.SelectNextControl(CType(sender, Control), True, True, True, True)
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks to all of you.

I am using KeyDown event to handle Enter key and move to next control

and here is what I am able to to resolve it like:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            e.SuppressKeyPress = True
            Me.TextBox2.Select()
        End If
    End Sub
