Using Enter key when moving controls

[shomaipider]

Hi.

How would i do it in my code if i Want to use an "ENTER" key when transferring control?

thanks!

Hmm, not to sure what you mean, do you mean you push enter and the something moves? :/

[shomaipider]

Yes.

For example:

Textbox1 TextBox2 TextBox3.

After i input item on TextBox1 and I press ENTER, the control will go to TextBox2 and so on.

Thanks.

Try adding a KeyPress event handler to each textbox to detect when Enter is pressed and set the focus to the next box.

Hi,
I think you mean that if you put some text in textbox1 the the carret goes to te next textbox2.
If so you could try something like this:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _
    Handles TextBox1.KeyPress, TextBox2.KeyPress, TextBox3.KeyPress
 
        If Not TextBox1.Text = "" Then
            If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then
                TextBox2.Focus()
                e.Handled = True
            End If
        End If
 
        If Not TextBox2.Text = "" Then
            If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then
                TextBox3.Focus()
                e.Handled = True
            End If
        End If
 
        If Not TextBox3.Text = "" Then
            If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then
                MsgBox("You filled all textboxes")
                e.Handled = True
            Else
                TextBox3.Focus()
            End If
        End If
 
    End Sub

Wkr,
