vb .net - Rich TextBox

[deviranir]

Hi,

I am very thankful to the authors for the replies i received for my earlier posts.
Now i have a new question.

In my windows application, i have a rich textbox. When i press Enter, i want some action to be performed. But now it simply goes to the next line.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dev.

Events

Look in to the events of the RTB control

yea just create an event to handle the keypress, correct me if im wrong but i think you might need to override something

One solution

You could try using the PreviewKeyDown event of the RTB and check for vbCRLF (vbNewLine is an equivalent).

    Private Sub RichTextBox1_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.PreviewKeyDown
        If e.KeyValue = vbNewLine Then
            ...
        End If
    End Sub

Why all the difficult suggestions? This should be quite basic stuff right? :)

Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
  Case Keys.Return
    'Perform action
  End Select
End Sub
