on enter event - nothing is happening

27 New Member
I have a search form. and many unbound control. My main search text box "txtAccount " is acting weird or I am not doing it right.

I want user to input a value and hit the enter key. I put something on the "on Enter" event but the code kicks in as soon as I load the form.

After by passing the first error I enter something in my search box and hit the enter key on my keyboard and nothing happens. I even try to put msgbox "test" on the enter event and it does not do anything.

Please advise how can i take care of this issue. i even took out the tab stop on that text box.

Thanks

If KeyCode = 13 Then
f_runitnow
End If
End Sub

The OnEnter event fires when a text field is entered, not when the <Enter> key is pressed.

Your method should work, or Access has a property of command buttons that also would work. You simply place a button on your form to execute the code, then goto Properties - Other and set Default to Yes. Then, unless another command button has the focus (which it wouldn't if you're still in a textbox) anytime you press <Enter> the button will fire. This would give the user two ways to trigger the code (some like/expect to see a button to click on) or if you only want them to hit <Enter> goto Properties - Format and set Transparent Property to Yes.

The TextChanged event is not being called when I hit the "Enter" key. Yet it does for the "Tab" key. I set a break point in the Page_Load event and the TextChanged event and none of these get called when I hit the 'Enter' key. After typing in letters in the textbox, if I hit the 'Tab' key or click outside the text box with my mouse, the event fires. Here's the code: <form id="frmArticle" name="frmArticle" method="post" runat="server">

Hope someone can help me out there I'm struggling with a particular problem... I have a form with many tab pages. On one tab page I've got a button which when clicked with a mouse adds items into a datagrid. When a user presses the enter key on this button I want the mouse click event to be activated but instead the tab page's validating event is called. I understand that this behaviour is by partly by design (Accept button etc) but I...

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form) then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

Hi, I've been going crazy trying to figure out what's wrong with our Asp.Net 2.0 intranet site. At the very top of our main page I provide a TextBox and a Button for submitting Google searches.

After some initial troubleshooting I discovered that it's only...

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before all fields on the form are filled up. People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and doing validation, of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are empty. I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at all....

I have a function that looks up a SQL table to see if a search term matches. It works fine but so far there are two things yet to work: 1) After entering a search term and pressing Enter, nothing has been happening. It has only been searching when I click the Search button. 2) Neither of the Response.Write's have been displaying any text. Here's the code:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
