I am trying to find out how to retain focus on a button if you use enter to activate a click event on the button. When you hit the enter key, the focus should stay on the button until you hit tab, but presently, it jumps to the next button.
I would post some of my code, but none of my attempts even came close to working, so I am at a loss as to were to even begin. It is probably some simple two-line piece of code that I am unaware of
What did I do wrong below? When I pass the enter key but for somehow the enter key event doesn't get triggered.
CODE:
I have a function that allows a user to enter numeric vallues and also a period for the decimal points but I also want to allow for users to enter the minus sign to allow users to enter negative values . How would I go about it.

View 3 RepliesI have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.

I am using a picture box. I want to be able to use the Space or Enter key to change the image in it. For that, I try to use the keydown function as follow:
Private Sub ChestWindow_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.NumPad1[code]....
is the function which changes the image. It works well when I press '1' on my numeric part of the keyboard as a test.The issue is that when I press Space or Enter, the form containing the picturebox closes. (I've already put the keyPreview property to True)

I am trying to get the enter key to invoke an action from in a textbox. I want it to click a button. In Visual Studio 10, which I am using, the is an "Events" selection in theproperties area. Under this there is an "Enter" which allows you to pick something to invoke. So I choose the button that I wish to invoke. However, when this is selected this way, I run the debug and after i type something and hit enter in the text box, nothing happens and I hear a default sound. Why is this not working as it appears it should? What am I not doing right?

How do i code an enter event textchanged event to only work when the enter key is pressed?

View 3 Replieswhat I want is the following:
1. I have this form: img1
2. I filled up this form navigating with the tab key. I reach the last cell of the datagridview (dgv): img2
3. now, when I press enter, a new row is adding to the dgv and the first cell of this row has the focus and the cursor is blinking: img3 (while pressing tabs in the dgv, the current cell is always in edit mode, I don't need to do an extra click, I can write immediatly)
4. but my problem is that when I press the left arrow key at the end of the first row, a new row is adding to the dgv in this case too: img4
5. that is what I want to prevent, but the navigating with the arrow keys (switching between cells) should not be disabled, it just should not add a new row to the dgv.
6. and here my related codes:[code]
I think if I press the left arrow key, that fires up the cellvalidating event and after that the cellendedit event. I 'd like to manage this so that if the current cell is the 5th (e.ColumnIndex=5) then it should detect what was pressed (arrow key or enter). If enter then add new row, if arrow key (left) then cellendedit and switch to another cell but in the same row (of course if more rows existing up and down keys are possible).
