events

Question

hi what is the difference between keypress and enter events of a button.

carle lai · Answer

1) KeyPress = keydown + keyup; 2) there is nearly no difference between keypress and enter evnets of a button in my mind. maybe 'enter' is only keydown event.

The enter event occurs when the button gets focus. Once the button has focus if you press a key you will activate the keypress event. You can test it by creating a button with two events like the following porley coded example ;) to see how the various events get handled. private void testkeypress( object sender KeyPressEventArgs e) { textbox1.Text = keypress ; } private void testenter( object sender EventArgs e) { textbox2.Text = enter ; }
