Enter Key On Text Box?
Aug 21, 2011
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?

I 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.

This used be an issue in VB6, I'm wondering is it better in vb.net 2005. Users like to hit [Enter] (or tab) to navigate from text box to text box. Now I know I can write code to trap the pressing of [Enter] on each text box key press event, but surely theres a better way?

At the moment I have created an AutoTyper but can not get it to function in the way I want it to. I want it to have the option of choosing whether or not the enter button is pressed after the text is sent. Currently by changing True to False I can make it either send the text or send the text and hit enter. However I can not make it so it has the ability to do both.
Here is the code I am using:
Dim CheckBox1 As Boolean
If CheckBox1 = True Then
SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text)
SendKeys.Send("{Enter}")
Else
SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text)
End IF

ok I've read tons and coded tons and I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.. I have to assume its because there are 900 ways to do sendmessage with the windows API and I'm just not doing the correct one..
I made an an app that runs up and shows me its window handles.. my other app can find the one textbox and return the handle.. now I just have no clue how to send the message correct to make my string pop up. Do I need just the handle ? or do I need to get the handle of the text property using the getdlgitem ??

I'm using the combo box control in VB.It is not bound to a data source.Visual Studio gave me a text box to enter the values for the combo box.When I run the program, there is a blank value?How do I eliminate this blank (or null) combo value? My combo box is a required field.
For example I entered
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
When the program is ran, the combo box has <blank> (which is selected) Option 1

In the screenshot, you'll see three things- a start time, end time and total time. So the goal is this A user puts in a current start time by hitting F1 at the start of shift. They tab across the end time to the "time field", then go across the row. Then they enter their case number, then hit F1 again, and it will enter the current time in the start box on the next row, as well as putting that time in the end box in the row above.

I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event()
textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name)
end sub

I am trying to make it so that when the enter key is pressed, a process or action is executed, and then the program waits for further prompting - For example the enter key is pressed again.
I have used the following code in visual basic 2008 for a windows form:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Visible = True
[Code]....
Where I want to press enter a number of times and have different text displayed each time. Clearly when I run the sub above, pressing enter makes all the text appear at once. How can I make it so that one sentence or paragraph is displayed at a time?

Is there a way to enter text in a text box programatically, without the "changed" event being fired? Or do I have to use a flag to indicate that nothing should be done when the text is changed by the program?
