Auto button press

[Hello_world]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to VB .net, well quite new to programming per se .

I was able to read a book before and somehow already forgot how it was done. Anyway, I was trying to perform this task.

Let us say I am in a login screen. The focus is on the login id field. When I press the enter key, automatically, the system should know that what I want to do is click on the ok button. How can I achieve this goal of mine?

Thanks in advance.

Textbox has a keydown, keyup and keypress events.. I'd attach an event handler to the keyup and then check the

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Return Then DoLoginProcess()

Thank you very much for the help!

I saw a posting in the internet and his input was there is a property in the form which is "Acceptbutton". It also solved my problem.

Again thank you very much

If (e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Return) Then
Call okay_button_Click(New Object, New System.EventArgs)
End If

^^ On one of the key press events

AcceptButton would be best answer, for other button presses PerformClick method can be used.

If you want to run the code in a button's click event from elsewhere you should put that code into it's own sub then call the sub in the button's click event and the other location(s).

If you need a quick and dirty way of auto-clicking of a button, use it's PerformClick() method. I.E. okay_button.PerformClick()
