On Return Stop Beep [RESOLVED]

[john tindell]

I have a textbox which the user enters a search query into, now when they hit return it searches. So they dont have to move the mouse to hit the search button. But when ever the return key is hit in the textbox its makes a beep sound. Is there a way to stop it making a noise?

Im using the onKeyDown event of the textbox to capture the key press.

Thanks

Instead of trying to handle the search in the key events of the Textbox, add a Search button, now assign it to the AcceptButton property of the form. Now, whenever the Enter key is pressed, the Search button will be clicked, giving you the same result without having to handle key events.

use the KeyPress Event to stop the Beep ( e.Handled = true for the Enter Key ) eg:

        private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)
            {
                // stop the Beep like this...
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
