I have some ASP.NET Web App pages on which there are web forms with
textboxes and buttons for 'Cancel' and 'Submit' and such. All works great.
However, it a user uses the ENTER key in either of two textboxes, the
postback 'falls through' to one of the 'Cancel' button handlers, and exits
the application. Oddly, I can't use anything in the Cancel routine to check
whether the ENTER key was hit, since the sender object is always the Cancel
key itself. This behavior is unwanted, and I can't figure out how to trap
the ENTER hey strokes either on the client or server side.
On some pages I have been able to get the ENTER key to fall through to a
Submit button, which makes more sense, but I still would like to be able to
process the postback depending on the ENTER key usage or not.
What approach should I be using?

Bob,
In the html view of the aspx page, make sure the Submit button appears
before the Cancel button. In that way, the Enter will go to the Submit button.

Some background info:
When you hit the enter-key in the browser, that browser simulates a click
on the "default button". The browser then sends a request to the server as if that
button was clicked.
The server then has no way to know *how* that button was clicked. Asp.Net
just registers a "click" on your button.
See www.MetaBuilders.com, look for DefaultButtons. That might help.

I'm using C# to build an application.
1) I have two windows forms, A and B.

box controls.
6) While in B, I add handlers to capture the

My windows form has some text boxes and a two buttons, Button1 and Button2.
The TAB key goes from field to field. When the user presses the RETURN key I
want the focus to be moved to Button1. Is there an easy way to do this or
would I have to check for all keypresses in an event somewhere and manually
set the focus on Button1 if the RETURN key was hit. Is so, which event would
that be?

Hi,
ASP.NET has some interesting behavior when the user hits the Enter key.
If there are multiple ASP:Buttons (rendered as HTML submits) on the
form, when the user hits enter, the first button's click event will
fire and the page will submit.
I have a series of pages with Previous and Next navigational Btns. The
Previous button is the first button, so when the user hits enter, the
previous page is served up. Enter should result in...

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...

I want the same function to be run whether you press Enter or double

both events everytime, even if they both call the same function, or

Isn't there an event for 'ListBox selection selected' that is
automatically called by ALL the standard GUI ways of doing it? C'mon,
this is C#, we aren't supposed to be programming the GUI. There has

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
