Hi,

I have a form with a TextBox with its multiline property set to true. I also
have the form's AcceptButton set to a "Save" button.

With the setup above, the user cannot have the cursor in the multiline
textbox and press "Enter" key to change line, because when pressing "Enter"
key, the "Save" button is automatically clicked.

Is there a workaround? Or maybe what I am trying to do does not make sense?

Thanks,
Michael

Set the textbox' 'AcceptsReturn' property to 'True'.
 
Can we change the Accept Button to be pressed upon pressing the F2 key instead of the ENTER key.
