keypress event question

[jkw119]

I have a question, lets say i have the following

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = "=" Then
            MsgBox("You Pressed "="")
        End If
End Sub

how can i do the same thing with enter? if anyone knows how to do this, i would greatly appreciate it.

thanks,

Hi

The only way I could get this working is using the Keydown event.

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown

Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Enter
MessageBox.Show("You pressed Enter")
End Select

End Sub

        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) Then
            MsgBox("pressed enter!")
        End If

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsKeyPressEventArgsClassKeyCharTopic.htm

Somewhere buried in the help is also a nice table of which ASCII/Unicode numbers correspond to keys/characters also.

This also works:

        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Enter) Then
            MsgBox("pressed enter!")
        End If

ps: duh, both on the KeyPress event, not KeyDown

Are you wanting to move to another control when the enter key is pressed on the keypressed event?, is that what you are asking?

If so, this below works.

Private Sub txtDataFormat_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtDataFormat.KeyPress

        'Ceck if enter was pressed
        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) Then
            e.Handled = True

            'Is this textbox active or not?
            If (Me.txtDisplay.Enabled = True) Then
                'Ok go here then
                Me.txtDisplay.Focus()
            Else
                'No it's not so move to the command button instead
                Me.cmdClose.Focus()
            End If
        End If

    End Sub

Hope that helps.

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

Dim ky As Integer
ky = Asc(e.KeyChar)
Select Case ky
Case Asc(ControlChars.Cr)
TextBox2.Focus()
e.Handled = False
End Select

End Sub
