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 enter when in the multi-line text
box will fire the click event on the default accept button, not create a new
line in the multi-line textbox.
I'm guessing I need to capture the enter key in the control before it gets
passed back up to the form and the default button gets processed.
How do I do this?
I'm writing in vb.net / framework 1.1.
Thanks in advance

My train of thought would be to find out which event is fired first
the KeyDown event in the control/form even. Once you have that you
can see if your box has focus and act accordingly OR you can turn off
the accept / cancel button in the textbox.GotFocu s event and turn them
back on in the LostFocus event. This way the enter key would be used
in your textbox correctly and when the focus is lost everything
returns to normal.
Thanks for the idea, it worked a treat.
I ended up by picking up the gotfocus event on the text box in the
usercontrol, and checking the parentform.acce ptbutton, saving it's contents
in an object variable, and then making parentform.acce ptbutton=nothin g. I
then simply restore parentform.acce ptbutton to it's previous value in the
lostfocus event.

Why not set the textbox' AcceptsReturn property to True?

I have a WebForm that has a "reset" button and an "Enter" button. It's a
long form, and users tend to hit the enter key at some point when they
really want to tab to the next form field. How can I control this default
behavior? I figured I could have an "are you sure?" confirmation if fields
are blank, but I think I'd just rather make it so enter doesn't submit the
form.
Any examples or suggestions for me? Thanks!

Hi guys,
The framework of my page is an aspx page with a header and a footer.
The header is a menu system and depending on what you select there
different ascx pages are loaded into the middle part. So the entire
page is encased in <form> tags. For this reason I cannot create <form>
tags on a given ascx page. It screws things up. So, on one of my
controls, I have the following

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
