I have a form with the AcceptButton property set to a command button. I
also have a RichTextBox on the same form. With the AcceptButton property
set, I cannot enter a carriage return in the RichTextBox. It instead
activates the command button that is specified in the AcceptButton property.

Does anyone else have this problem and if so, how can I have both and
AcceptButton property set and able to enter a Carriage Return in the RTB
control?

Thankyou
 
Wrong newsgroup Jeff, this is VB.NET not C#

In the RichTextBox's 'GotFocus' event, remove the accept button by
setting the form's 'AcceptButton' property to 'Nothing', in it's
'LostFocus' event handler you can re-assign the button to the property.
 
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I just thought there was a more
graceful way to solve it.

Thankyou all for your response.

p.s. I know nothing about C#
 
The Moon is on conjunction with Venus's orbit and the clouds are across
Mars. I can think of no other reason for me to have said that so please
ignore me completely.
