I have been trying to capture the enter key in a windows.net textbox but i have no idea how to do it, i googled searched but the only examples i find are visualbasic and c# ones and when i try to do thesame thing in c++ in doesnt work.
I am using visual c++ express 2008 and i am working with windows forms(.net)
I hope thats enough information for you guys to be able to help me.
Thanks in advanced.
Do you want to capture it in place of a button press (like you would in an instant messenger) or...? What were the instructions in C#, perhaps there's a property of the form that's called something different. There's a property where the keypresses from the textbox are also passed down to the form, but I forgot what that one is called.
Yes i want to capture it in place of a button press (like you would in an instant messenger)
Make sure AcceptsEnter is false for the textbox(it is by default). Make a keyDown event for the textbox. Within that event handler have something like
if(e->KeyCode == Keys::Enter)
button1->PerformClick();or whatever action you need to take.
Thank you very much.
