Forms :: Enter Key Function As TAB Key?
Dec 15, 2009
I have a Data Entry form. I wanted to make the Enter key work like TAB key so that if a user presses Enter key, the next control should get the focus key.
For this, I used the Forms KeyPreview on and Form's KeyUp Event to trap the Enter key and used the SendKeys.Send("{TAB}"). The problem is that to open this form there is a MenuToolStripItem. If Selects this MenuToolStripItem by pressing enter (not mouse click), this Enter key is processed by the DataEntry Forms KeyUp event and the focus goes to the second object instead of the first one.
Another problem is that .. suppose there is a textbox TaxType. if user Types 1 and press Enter, It should jump to the VAT textbox. for this i used Vattextbox.focus event if the of TaxType.Valideted event. But the focus moves to the next control after VATtextbox. alternatively if user presses TAB in TaxType textbox then it goes properly to VATtextbox.
I am facing this problem every time where i need to make Enter key work as TAB since long time.

I just recently had to rebuild my development environment from scratch. I've noticed that when I'm in debugging mode and I have a breakpoint set on a Procedure or Function, instead of stepping into that P or F, it just executes it without actually stepping thru the code. What do I need to change in my "Tools" and "Options" area?

I registered a function that I made in Enter Key. But it is possible that if I used to register Enter Key for my function the original registered key of Enter Key will not be replace. So, the Enter Key will not be replace, it will just add another function for hotkey.
Here's my code:
Private Sub DexLogger_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Hotkeys
RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, TZIH_keyID1, 0, VK_RETURN)

I have an ASP.Net site that is using the singular form model. Each page has multiple forms (login, search), and I'd like for the forms to obey the 'enter' key. Currently if a user is in the login form at the top of the page, if they hit 'enter' the form is submitted, but if they are in the search form, a little further down the page (and lower in the DOM), hitting 'enter' causes the login form to submit.

Is there a way to prevent the Enter key from being interpreted as a button click.
I am trapping key strokes at the form level but if a button has the focus and the ENTER key is pressed I cannot trap the enter because the button consumes it as a button click event. I am also unable to trap the enter key in any of the button's key events.
I am interfacing with magtripe swipe and barcode readers that send their information as keystrokes with a CRLF at the end. I have a work around by chaning the focus to a textbox anytime keystrokes are detected but I am hoping for better control.
Is there a way to disable the buttons ability to do this?

I have a form containing a chart which plots based on values in textboxes on the form. I have textbox keydown events set up so that when the user enters a value into a textbox and presses enter or tab, the chart re-plots and focus is passed to the next textbox in tabindex order. Below is the
PrivateSub Param1ValueBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Param1ValueBox.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Windows.Forms.Keys.Tab Then

The code does exactly what I want it to do. However, when the user presses enter Excel makes a warning noise (berrt!) as if they have done something wrong. How do I make Excel chill out with the noises? ... is there a text box property i need to change? I have tried all that seem sensible. (I am creating an application for Excel 2010 using VSTO 2010 and VB.NET 4.0)

I cannot seem to successfully send the Enter key to a webbrowser control using .net. I can succesfully send postmessage Tab key and it tabs through the links and controls, but it does not click on the link when I send Enter key.The website I am opening has frames, and due to the cross frame scripting policies microsoft forced into the IE control , I cannot retrieve the links from the IFRAMES on the page. So my alternative thinking is to use Tab keys to get to the link and then press Enter.

I want to have a counter that measures when a mouse enters/leaves a form. To that extent I used the .mouseenter/.mouseleave commands. This works to an extent. The problem is that moving the mouse over any controls inside a form count as existing it- I don't want this. Is there a way to define the controls as a part of the form? Meaning- if the mouse was over one of my labels- it would count as being within the form. A less elegant way to measure form access could be to use the form positioning, and define capture any mouse movement within it.

wondering if someone can help me some small issues I am having with building my first project.
1.I have comboboxes that allow users to enter their own choices in and then their choices are displayed into the gridview.
the problem I am having is this is allowing me to duplicate choices. for example:when I run debug to try my boxes, I can type in Johnathan into the combobox as many times as I want to and it adds is to the combobox list..so now I got 10 johnathans in my combo box.and then to make things worse, when I hit the button I made to send choices to display..it causes duplicated choices to show up in the display.What I figure is that it is easier for me to just prevent duplicates in combobox.
2.Lets say on one of 10 comboboxes I got...lets say someone skips the box and doesnt make a choice...my grid will then display the last choice made.. (man o man)for example:John chose in his boxes and is displayed on gridview: Combobox1 (john) Combo2 (5:00 PM) combo3 (waiting)now lets say I come up to the computer and in Combobox1(Dcurvez) Combo2( i skipped and didnt enter a choice) and Combobox3(In Progess)
The display will put Dcurvez....5:00 PM.....In Progress because I didnt make a choice in the time combobox..it put in the last choice (Johns) as 5:00 PM Can someone in very simple terms tell me how to fix this problem?? I am using visual studio 2008 and vb/vb.net as language this is not a webpage, btw. it is for in shop computer just.

I am working on a Notepad like text editor and I'm trying to put an Undo function in it. When you click the undo menu, I want to simply undo the last action (added char, removed char, paste, delete...). It doesn't have do remember all the past actions, I just want it to undo the last action even if the last one was undo... For now I have a button in a tool strip menu (tsmAnnuler) and my richtextbox (rtbZoneTexte).

My Problem is, that I have some Buttons, Labels and TextBoxes I need to generate after the User told a number of Players. With the Code I'm using now only the last Player will have these Controls working, because they are moved - for example - from Player 1 to Player 3. how to create such a ControlArray The biggest Problem I have is, that these buttons have to have names like "1", "2", "3" and so on (or if it works somehow to read out the Index of a ControlArray the names will not be necessary).
This is the code I am using right now to generate the Controls, but as you see it won't work, because the properties will be changed when the For-Function restarts.What I need is a hint on how to get these Controls/Buttons into a Control-Array and then read out the Index-Number to use them in the Functions that are called.
