How do I fire the keypress event in a VB.NET form

1 New Member
I'm unable to fire the keypress event using VB.NET. I use Murach's book and have tried the examples provided and still the keypress event doesn't fire. What am I doing wrong? Is there an Import statement that's needed to fire this event for the datagrid, text box, list box, etc?

You are talking about a windows application yes?
Have you assigned the button handler correctly?
What do you have for code?

I have a VB.NET user control that I wrote - this control has three or four other controls on it (textbox, combobox, datetime picker, etc). Now, whenever the control is on a form and the user enters anything into the textbox (for instance) I trap the keypress event to handle some stuff (i.e. if it is an enter key, etc). Now, once I am done with...

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...
