Topic: Return problems with textbox in windows form

[Peter Jamtgaard]

I have been having a problem with a textbox in a windows form

I would like the user to have the ability to hit a return after entering a string and have the string be evaluated and the response appear below in the same dialog.

No matter what I do it either ignores the return or recognizes the return as an accept and closes the dialog.

Thoughts?

This piece of code from working routine, I use KeyPress event
to drop on to next textbox, i.e.:

Code: [Select]

Private Sub txtRoof_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtRoof.KeyPress
        If Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = False And Microsoft.VisualBasic.AscW(e.KeyChar) <> 46 Then
            If e.KeyChar = CChar(DSep) Then
                e.Handled = True
            ElseIf Microsoft.VisualBasic.AscW(e.KeyChar) = 13 Then
                Me.txtGrunt.Select()'' next box selected, so you can add any text string here
               '' something like
-------------''  Me.txtGrunt.Text=txtRoof.Text  ''-------------------
                e.Handled = False
            Else
                e.Handled = True
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

This worked.

Thanks...

I was working on my "bullet proof" lisp evaluator for .net

Code - vb.net: [Select]

1.     Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
2.         If Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = False And Microsoft.VisualBasic.AscW(e.KeyChar) <> 46 Then
3.             If Microsoft.VisualBasic.AscW(e.KeyChar) = 13 Then
4.                 EvaluateTextbox()
5.             End If
6.         End If
7.     End Sub
