enter key
 

Hello :)

Iam using windows application, I want to know how can I move from textbox1 to textbox2 through the tab control key or enter key..

Re: enter key
 

or you could just use the mouse and position the cursor in which ever text box you want?

Try this:

    Private Sub TextBox1_Keydown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown, TextBox2.KeyDown

        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then

            If sender.Name = "TextBox1" Then

                TextBox2.Focus()

                e.Handled = True

            ElseIf sender.Name = "TextBox2" Then

                TextBox1.Focus()

                e.Handled = True

            End If

        End If

    End Sub



 Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress, TextBox2.KeyPress

        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then

            If sender.name = "TextBox1" Then

                TextBox2.Focus()

                e.Handled = True

            ElseIf sender.name = "TextBox2" Then

                TextBox1.Focus()

                e.Handled = True

            End If

        End If

    End Sub

1)the tab works by default right?

2)I added the enter code but still when i start my program the focus is always at the 2nd text box, so what can i do?
3) can i move between textboxes using the ASCII code 13? how?
thanks : )

Re: enter key
 

You don't want to do this. The "enter" key is universally used to submit a form, or perform a default action. Altering it is a major violation of the User Model.

sorry but i didn't understand ;/ ,,
what i meant is using enter key to move from one text box to another..
and how I can do it..

I'm very new to programming. . :)

Re: enter key
 

In the GUI tab there should be an option in the text box to enable or disable the tab key. If it is disabled you should be able to use it to go through different buttons and text fields.

But using enter to do the same would be frowned upon.

Re: enter key
 

now that i have 3 text boxes .. when i type numbers then press enter the numbers will be cleared??
and that doesn't happen with 2nd and 3rd number?

Re: enter key
 

Huh?

When you press the enter button on the keyboard you mean.

Do you have any code?
