Re: one more question before i give up

When using text boxes and buttons, the parent form may not receive
keypresses.
There may be some override method for this.

Ok,

So now I put the KeyPress event on all my buttons....and it still works fine
for every key.....except for the enter keystroke

Hi,
KeyPress event is generated only for character keys. *enter* key is not
considered as so.
If you want to catch pressing of *enter* key you have to use KeyDown/Up
events

Set form's *KeyPreview* property to *true*.

Re: one more question before i give up

Forgot the code...

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(r ef Message msg, Keys keyData)

{

if(keyData==Key s.Enter)

{

MessageBox.Show ("Enter pressed!");

return true;

}

return base.ProcessCmd Key (ref msg, keyData);

}
