Text Box And enter key

5 New Member
Hi

I have a small database program in VB6, There is a form that has a command button that is labled "Search" and a text box for data base catalogue number user input.
My problem is that when the keyboard enter key is pressed nothing happens, you allways have to click the search button before the batabase will find the number entered in the text box
I think I have overlooked something simple, most likely in the properties somesware....Ca n some one help?

Hi,

"Tab" key is the default key which will moves to Next Control in the Tab Index.
Set this property of the Commad button :
Default = True

Veena,

What i meant was ......to have both the enter key and the command button respond to the user, either hit the enter key or click the command button in which case both will work.

Regards

Hi,

OK, Make Form's Property : KeyPreview=True
and Write this is Form_KeyPress Event :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If KeyAscii = 13 Then
  2.    Call Command1_Click
  3. End If
  4.

Hey Folks, This one currently has me stumped. I have to check for the existence of a carriage return (Enter key, hex 0D) in text data. First I tried: 'Check comment to not contain the CR (13) character For i = 1 To Len(txtComment.Text) On Error GoTo BogusComment2 If Mid(txtComment.Text, i, 1) = CStr(13) Then MsgBox "Comment cannot contain the enter character"

Hi- I'm creating a database of music bands with their cds and songs. I'm trying to program an SQL statement so that I can enter a string of text in a textbox, press the 'Enter' key, and have it return the associated records to a listbox. Once the listbox has the records, I want to select a record, which will open a form associated with the selected record in the listbox.

I am fairly new to Javascript. I have a form that users fill out to enter an animal to exhibit at a fair. Because we have no way of knowing, how many animals a user may enter, I created a table with a createElement function to add additional entries. The table has the first row of input text boxes already in it. You have to click a button to add another row. That seems to be working fine. How do I pull the information from the input boxes...

I have a from with three radio buttons (same group) and three text boxes. The radio buttons give the user a choice of uploading one, two, or three images. Currently, I have the text boxes load as disabled and the radio button selection enables the needed text boxes. It works but... I don't want to see the text boxes unless they are needed and I want the user to be able to change their mind. (ie choose three images or go back to one image)...
