OK, I have a question. I have a problem. I'm trying to catch all KeyDown events on a button, but the problem is when I press the "Enter" key, the button's "Click" event is triggered, not the "KeyDown" event. Or if it is, it isn't being caught by the handler.
Is there a way to disable the button being clicked by pushing Enter?

Well, I discovered a workaround. I wanted to capture the "Enter" event regardless of the focus being on the button or the form.
What I did was force the focus to the form when a button was focused on.
I'd still like to know if anyone knows a better way.
Form has an "AcceptButt on" property which sets the default action when Enter is pressed, and needs to be a button. (There is also a CancelButton property for when Escape is pressed.
Not sure if that helps, and not even sure if you can set it to null, but sounds as if the button in question is being set as the Form's AcceptButton.
Also, this quote from Control.KeyDown :
Certain keys, such as the TAB, RETURN, ESCAPE, and arrow keys are handled by controls automatically. To have these keys raise the KeyDown event, you must override the IsInputKey method in each control on your form. The code for the override of the IsInputKey would need to determine if one of the special keys is pressed and return a value of true.
I think that overriding IsInputKey is going to do the trick. I'll try it out. Thanks.

Hy everyone, just wanted to share a thought regarding UI.
If you really think about it, events such as "Click", "DoubleClick",
"KeyDown", "KeyUp", etc... (which clutter every winforms control we see) are
mostly annoying and sometimes even harmful.
How does knowing a control was clicked by the mouse (and how many times it
was clicked) help a client object know what the user intended to do by that
action?
How many times have you found...

I'm having a problem with a button click event being fired erroneously.
My login.aspx page has the usual username/password boxes.

Hi,
I have just built a small application with a form that has one Text Box and
one Check Box and a couple of Command Buttons.
What I am trying to achieve is that if the Text Box has focus and the User
hits the "Enter" button the focus will move to the next Tab item (i.e. the
Check Box). Likewise on the Check Box but obviously if a Command Button has
the focus, it will initiate the Click event
I have set the Forms CancelButton to the...

Sorry for the repost, but this group seems to be more "active" than the
group that I posted my question, and it's probably as valid here as there!
I have a usercontrol, which contains a textbox (as well as other controls).
The textbox is set for multiline, so it *should* accept an Enter Key to move
down to the next line.
However, I'm finding that if I put the control onto a form which has a
default Accept button set, then pressing...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
