Combobox not recognizing Enter key

[hijack]

A program I wrote 6+months ago has 'turned evil' on me. Everything with the program was working fine after I wrote and has, until very recently, been working fine. Since I wrote this program for myself and it wasn't intended for anyone else to use on any other computer I decided to have the program auto write to the data to the hard drive to a fixed directory instead going through Common Dialog.

Recently after reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows I decided to stick with the extra partition on the main hard drive. I had to change the location the data was being written to/read from. Other than that I haven't changed anything with the program.

For some reason now the program isn't recognizing the Enter key inside the combobox. I can type part of a web address into the combo box and hit the Enter key and it does absolutely nothing. It doesn't go down to the Combo1_Click() routine like it always used to. If I hit the up or down arrow it will go the subroutine and process the code like its supposed to.

Like I said it always use to work fine. That was how I added to the combobox, type in the main part of the web address and hit the Enter key and it would check to see if the web address existed and if it did it would continue with the rest of the code. Everything else in the program still appears to be working like it always has in the past.

Any ideas???

Is there any code you have that handles KeyPress/Down/Up events? Post it if so.

I never put any in before and it was working fine. I just did go and put in a simple check for the Enter key and it started working okay. The question now becomes why did it work before without the KeyPress check but it won't now? It seems really strange why it changed on me like that.

It is behaving correctly now - the _Click event is only supposed to fire when an item from the list is selected (using the mouse, or arrow keys).

Presumably you had some extra code somewhere else (perhaps in the KeyPress event) before, but either didn't save or removed it since compiling.

I don't know why it is not working but i can tell you alternate method, if it fulfill you needs.
Use following smaller code lines in Combobox1_KeyPress event :

Private Sub Combobox1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
'13 is identifier for Enter key
 
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
 
'Your code Hare, like to go at any record etc.
'Combobox1_Click()
 
MsgBox "What you wants to do ???", vbQuestion
 
End If
 
End Sub
