surpress newline on Enter press

[iwdu15]

hi, i have a control that inherits from RichTextBox. What i want to be able
to do is surpress the Enter key inserting a newline into the text. For
instance, in AIM when you press Enter, it doesnt insert a new line, it sends
the message. Thats the kind of thing i want to be able to do. How can i do
this?

thanks

Capture the KeyChar of Enter i.e. 13 and call some other method on
KeyDown event

even if i catch the enter keypress, it still goes through...how can i stop it
from going through?

I believe this is what you want (Watch for line-wrapping) -

Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Return Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
'The "Return/Enter Key" is now absorbed
'Now do something else here.....
End If

End Sub
