Re: Enter Key vs. Tab Key

Well , you can code around the mentioned issue ( boolean flag wether to
send the tab or not )

about the in VB6 not encouraged thingy afaik was this because the need of an
API to perform a sendkey in VB.Net it is part of the framework

in my opinion you only have 2 options

1. code the behavior that you want

2. use the controls out of the box and live with there habits and
limitations

What about my text boxes with multiple lines that I don't want to
interpret
the ENTER key as the TAB key. I think the KEYPREVIEW will be global on the
form? Is there a Microsoft recommended method? I thought in VB6 using
SendKeys as this solution was not encouraged by Microsoft.

Well , we just set the keypreview of the form to true and what do you
think
?? we catch the enter key and send a tab with sendkeys ...

In my data entry forms, I want to treat the Enter key on text box as
though
the user has pressed the tab key and jump to the next control. In VB6 I
would
do this by using the SendKeys "{Tab}" routine. What is the best
practice
for
Visual Basic .NET?
