I may be doing this wrong but I want to call a sub when the user presses enter on a textbox. The sub then shows a window in dialog mode. When I close that window, the computer makes a ding sound. Why is that? Is there a better way for detecting enter being presses on a textbox and not getting that ding?
If e.KeyChar = vbCr Then
LookupItem()
End If
I have Visual Basics 2008 express and I tried to make a autotyper, so this is my
Button1: Timer1.Start
Timer1: Timer2.Start
Timer2: SendKeys.Send(Textbox.text)
Button2: Timer2.Stop
So it was my first try ever with VB and it kind of worked... Only 2 problems;
1. Button 2 doesn't really work, I have to click it really many times, then go to a different window, then click it really many times again, in the meantime it keeps on spamming
2. How do I make my autotyper press enter every single time after the textbox message was typed?
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?

I started learning vb 2010 over the internet for about an a week and got stuck on this assignment that I got from the internet
1.Add one textbox so the user can enter a distance measured in feet. Add labels as needed.
2.Add a button control which when clicked is converts the feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meters), accepting floating point values and preserving them (no integer conversions) and display the output as shown next. 1 Points
3.Display the conversion result using a MessageBox (not msgbox) using this format: x feet is y meters, where x is the value entered and y is the result of the conversion to meters with up to 2 decimal places only. Then show an extra line of "Would you like to start another distance conversion?" and make the No button the default in the message popup and display the question icon.
4. If the user chooses Yes, cleanup the controls as in the Reset button. 0.5 Point
5.If the user clicks no, ask in another MessageBox if the user wants to quit.
6.If the user chooses to quit, close the window, otherwise no action is required.
