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)
Ive got a login page that has two parts, page 1 selects the user name, as there names are loacted on a load of buttons and the other is the password section. Ive got enter key on the textbox set to allow enter key to be pressed in the events section but it automatically presses enter when the form loads. as the form loads i do have the "textbox2.select" on the 1st login screen, so the user can just type is there a way to stop the form not pressing enter till it has a password.

I have many fields in the page and the last field is a dropdown with list of values. When I select an item in a dropdown and press Enter, it doesn't do the "Ok". Instead I have to manually click on Ok to Submit. How can I do by pressing Enter on my Keyboard rather than Clicking on "Ok" button after selecting the value from dropdown list. I have set the SubmitBehavior to true.

I made a simple calculator console app, and pressing ALT+ENTER gives me an error message: This system does not support fullscreen mode. Is it because I am using Windows 7 Starter?
I want to be able to hit enter or return on the keyboard and then for the next button to automatically click. Once you're done typing in the value to a textbox you hit return and the next button clicks.
I have a richtextbox which has CSV values in each line. Whenever a line is inserted, after pressing a command button the program lets the user know how many categories each line has.
Example: Line1: a,b,c,d,e Line2: x,y,z
Pressing the command button would say: Line1: 6 categories, Line2: 3 categories. This works fine, except from when I want a line to NOT contain any categories.
[Code]...
I understand that VB recognizes the vbCrlf on Line2 as a char, hence a 'category', hence the line is not empty. But what happens when I want to consider a line as empty (ie Line2:0 categories)? Should I go with something like if txt.line(i).text = vbcrlf then...? This solution seems kind of like bypassing the problem instead of actually solving it.. Or maybe it's just me?

In old VB6, I could set all txtBox controls when members of the same index eg.txtBox(0),txtBox(1) etc., to all do certain things in a couple of lines of code, eg.
Private Sub txtBox_GotFocus(Index As Integer) txtBox(Index).SelStart = 0 txtBox(Index).SelLength = Len(txtBox(Index))
Working on a personal project to help with my sons spelling.Textbox 1 will hold the correctly spelled word. Textbox 2 will be typed BUT I want the background of textbox2 to change green if he is on track but turn red when he messes up on a letter. Basically I need the two boxes to be validated each time he presses a key. I can do the box to box when complete but the trick I am having is how to I have them check as he is typing?
how to capture the text that a user enters in a textbox when they press the enter key? I thought there was an event that handles this but I can't quite seem to get anything to work.
I have a button in my windows form using vb.net when I actually clicked the button something happen then when I press any keys like enter or space, it focuses on the button since it was clicked and the codes in my button is the one that is executing rather than the codes in my enter or space key. I think it means that the button is being pressed when I hit spacebar and enter because there is a blue border in the button. When I click a button the focus remains on the button. I don't know how to remove that.
I realise that this is a question asked a lot, but the best answer seems to be to use the "AcceptButton" option ... I don't have that option, why would that be I am using VS2010 & C# for my program, but nowhere is there an "AcceptButton" option
I have a form that you can type in a four digit code and press enter and will will run some code on a database. The problem occurs when a user click their 4 digit ID number and then click enter, the next user then comes up, types their 4 digit ID on the number pad and when they press enter it runs the code twice (this is due to the fact that the enter button has focus, meaning i intercept the enter, run my code, then the button runs that same code)
When a button is focused by pressing Tab key, a rectangle appears on it. Even if the button's TabStop property is set to false, when the button is clicked with mouse the rectangle appears. Is it possible to stop the rectangle from appearing?

I have a method in place to capture the "Enter" button when pressed and then move to the next control in the tab order. I do this to mimic Access (my users are spoiled).The problem arises when the current control is TextBox. I changed all my TextBoxes to multi-line and it got rid of the beep. However, it also added a "carriage return" and entered it as such in the DataBase.
vb Private Sub HandleEnterAsTab(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) _
I have a maskedtext box that once filled I would like to use either the enter key or tab key to exit. I'm sure there is a simple answer but as yet I have not been able to find it.
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 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 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.
