Hi,

Can I enforce Return key to behave like a TabKey ?

I am using the following KeyPress down event for my
control:

Private Sub Navigate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)

Try
Select Case e.KeyChar
Case vbCrLf
e.Handled = True
'CType(sender, TextBox).Focus()
End Select

Catch oEX As Exception
Call MsgBox(oEX.Message)
Finally

End Try
End Sub
 
i had the same prob a while back, so ill give to you w others in this ng
gave to me :)

Turn "KeyPreview ON" for the form before your try this code:


Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
If Not ActiveControl Is Nothing Then
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
End If
End If

End Sub
 
Hi vinay,

Is there any reason why you does not do?

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e _
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
Select case e.keysdata
case Keys.Enter
Private Sub Navigate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)

Try
Select Case e.KeyChar
Case vbCrLf
e.Handled = True

I am curious?

Hi Vinay,

The 'sender' parameter in Navigate() will always be the Form itself, so it
won't be of much use to you.

Have a play with
Control.GetNextControl (Me.ActiveControl, True).Focus

Good morning Cor,

Just a wee note - Did you know that you can do

Private Sub Navigate(ByVal sender As Object, _

ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.KeyDown

'Deal with <Enter>, <Arrows>, etc

<and>

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.KeyDown

'Deal with other keys

This is because MyBase.KeyDown is a multicast Delegate - they will <both>
fire for the KeyDown Event. (Also the names of the Subs don't matter).

Regards,
Fergus
 
Hi Herfried,
Notice that 'DirectCast' should be used instead of 'CType' in this case.

Not "should", Fergus did notice you about that, it has a different meaning
than in the equivalent in the German language.

"could be better used" I thought it was.
