I am trying to add an "KeyPress" event in a textbox (WinForm)
this.textBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(CheckKeys);
and here's inside the 'CheckKeys':
private void CheckKeys(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
{
// Enter is pressed - do something
}
}
The idea here is that once a textbox is in focus and the 'Enter' button was pressed, something will happen...
However, my machine cannot find the 'KeyPress' event. Is there something wrong with my codes?
UPDATE:
I also tried putting KeyDown instead of KeyPress:
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Return)
// Enter is pressed - do something
}
}
Still not working though...
