How to use SendKeys?

Nov 16th, 2008

My form's KeyPreview is set to True. I want to allow my users to use the Enter Key instead of just the Tab key. I have the following code in my form's KeyPress event:

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
    Private Sub frmDesigner_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As   System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = vbkeyreturn Then
            SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
        End If
    End Sub
    Private Sub frmDesigner_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As   System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = vbkeyreturn Then
            SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
        End If
    End Sub

It doesn't like vbkeyreturn, which I used in Visual Basic 6.0. I think I must be close to having it right. Your help is appreciated!

Hi,

Private Sub frmDesigner_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If Asc(e.KeyChar) = Keys.Enter Then
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
End If
End Sub
