TextBox Return Key problem in VB Express 2005

[ZenKnight]

Hi All!

Simply put, I have a "Search" textbox which is followed by a "GO!" button. What I can't seem to figure out is how to activate the "GO!" button control by pressing the Return (Enter) key once I've typed something in the textbox.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe that for this to work, you have to have the following conditions:

• Textbox not be set to multi-line. If it is, pressing Enter just inserts a line break. In this case, you could try putting a shortcut key on the button (Eg Alt-G for "go").
• The command button must be set as the default for the form to capture the Enter. In VB6, this was done by setting the Default property to True. Don't know about your version.
