Not able to capture Enter key in WinForms text box
- by Michael Hermes
When the user is entering a number into a text box, I would like them to be able to press Enter and simulate pressing an Update button elsewhere on the form. I have looked this up several places online, and this seems to be the code I want, but it's not working. When data has been put in the text box and Enter is pressed, all I get is a ding. What am I doing wrong? (Visual Studio 2008)
private void tbxMod_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
btnMod.PerformClick();
}
}
