TextBox: ENTER accepting, Focus losing

[teo]

Hallo,

I'd like to write in a Textbox1,
press Enter on the keybord,
and fire the Click event of a Button
(unique Button control on the web form).

Now:
if a second Textbox2 is present on the web form
all is accomplished OK

but

if I delete the Textbox2 from the web form
all is NOT acomplished.

---------------

It seems to me that the Textbox1 control
doesn't want the Focus on itself
and if so it can fire the Click event of the Button on the web form
(unique Button control on the web form).

--------------

What oddity is this ??
Is there a better way to accomplish my need?

Yes, this is a well known problem.
You could use this free control to solve the problem.
