capture Enter Key on keypress

[HeavenCore]

Hello, how does one check if the enter Key was pressed on either KeyPress or KeyUp?

I was thinking something like this:

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Private [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] PasswordTextBox_KeyPress([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] sender [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Object[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] e [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Handles[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] PasswordTextBox.KeyPress[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Dim[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] KeyChar [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]String[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]KeyChar = e.KeyChar[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] KeyChar = Keys.Enter [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]DoLogin()[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE]

But this throws all sort of nasty errors. Any ideas?

Cheers

Keyupdown is easy; if e.keycode=keys.enter, the keypress is a little different; if e.keychar=convert.tochar(keys.enter)

I would use the KeyUp event to look for the enter key this way you're code will only execute once even if the user holds the enter key for a while

when a user holds a key down, the keydown event keeps firing which could cause problems

yea m8, i did, its was just for a login form so they dont have to click Login, just hit enter on passsword box, nothing major.

But thanks for the tip anyways
