No button click - enter type

[ibanezFreak87]

How would I be able to code something to happen when I press "enter" on my keyboard?
i.e. I want the user to input a number in a textbox and then press enter on the user's keyboard and then for the program to do.....

You set the TextBox property AcceptReturn=True, and handle the KeyUp event to see if e.KeyCode=Keys.Return

On form: KeyPreview = True

    Private Sub TextBox1_keypress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Enter) Then
            'do something - enter was pressed.
        End If
    End Sub

Great, thank you very much. I will try it tomorrow and let you know if it worked.

btw, DavidT, the KeyPreview is only required for catching the keys events for the form itself, it's not related to the contained controls keys events.
