    Re: Need help trapping Enter key

    It seems that the CommandButton "consumes" the Enter key, preventing the Form from ever being notified of the keypress. This happens even when subclassing either the Form or the CommandButton (watching for BN_CLICKED or WM_CHAR/WM_KEYDOWN messages). I've noticed that Microsoft's Calculator doesn't allow setting the focus to any button, thus enabling the Enter key to work correctly. Perhaps you may want to emulate that behavior. Another possible workaround is to use a UserControl button in lieu of the CommandButton.
    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0

    Been a long time since I did VB6 - but don't you have to enable ENTER key trapping on the properties of the FORM itself?

    Re: Need help trapping Enter key

    What are you trying to do with this code?

    vb Code:
    1. Dim intIndex    As Integer
    2.     
    3.     If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
    4.         intIndex = 23
    5.         cmdCalc(intIndex).SetFocus
    6.         cmdCalc_Click intIndex
    7.     End If

    press the "Enter" button when the "txt_Paper" has focus?
