Re: enter key

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

Re: enter key

Try this:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
    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
    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

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.

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

Huh?

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

Do you have any code?
