[RESOLVED] [2005] Key Enter problem

I have a form and input txtbox. When I press enter I want to display a msgbox. But if the user press enter. The program gets stuck in repeating the msgbox. How do I stop this?

show us your code otherwise we cannot help you

Set your Form's KeyPreview property to True and in your KeyPress event of the Form, have the following code:

VB Code:

If KeyAscii = 13 Then
            msgbox "Your text goes here"
        End If

Show us your code so that we can help you find where and why you get stuck in the loop.

Hi,

You can try this;

VB Code:

Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Enter) Then
            MsgBox("Your text goes here")
        End If
 
    End Sub

Wkr,

I tested this a bunch of times without getting stuck in any loops.

VB Code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            MessageBox.Show("Hello There")
        End If
    End Sub

VB Code:

Select Case e.KeyCode
            Case Keys.Enter
                If DataSetp.Tables("workers").Rows.Count = 1 Then
                    '
                Else
                    MsgBox("Error", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Error")
                End If
                Mtxlogin.Text = String.Empty
End Select

I found the error I use keyup event....instead of kepress... now is working fine.. thank to all.
