when Enter key press is act as tab

Question

I have code for working enter key press as a tab but it lost keypress enter control

code is

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)

{

//If so, it gets the next control and applies the focus to it

nextControl = GetNextControl(ActiveControl, !e.Shift);

if (nextControl == null)

{

nextControl = GetNextControl(null, true);

}

nextControl.Focus();

//Finally - it suppresses the Enter Key

e.SuppressKeyPress = true;

}

I want enter key as tab but without loosing events

Try the following code it uses the Tag property to focus on the next control in order so if you set the tag property of your text controls with the numeric order (1234567 ... ) focus will be set on the next control in the numeric sequence. eg press enter on the control who's tag property is 2 this code will set focus to the control that has the Tag property set to 3. You will need to set the KeyDown event for all controls to the same event handler eg private void CtrlKeyDown(object sender KeyEventArgs e) This will work fine for any type of control but you may need to check what the type of control you are moving from to determine what action should be taken for example this code was tested with text box combo box and check box no point checking the text property of a check box to see if focus needs to go to another control when enter key is used on the check box you should know what I mean. You have the basics now you should be able to expand on it. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace MoveNext { public partial class Form1 : Form { Control[] container = new Control[0]; Control[] sorted = new Control[0]; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { findControls(); } private void findControls() { for (int i = 0; i { if (this.Controls[i].Tag.ToString().Length > 0 ) { Array.Resize(ref container container.Count() + 1); container[container.Count() - 1]= this.Controls[i]; } } int j; for (int i = 0; i { j = i + 1; for (int k = 0; k { if (container[k].Tag.ToString() == j.ToString()) { Array.Resize(ref sorted sorted.Count() + 1); sorted[sorted.Count() - 1] = container[k]; break; } } } container = sorted; Array.Resize(ref sorted 0); } private void CtrlKeyDown(object sender KeyEventArgs e) { int i = 0; Control c = (Control)sender; if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { if (c.Text.Length > 0) { int.TryParse(c.Tag.ToString() out i); container[i].Focus(); } } } } }

Put this in the head: Hide Copy Code function EnterTab(e) { var intKey = window.Event ? e.which : e.KeyCode; if(intKey == 13) e.returnValue = false; } And in the body tag: Hide Copy Code http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6784059/how-to-make-the-enter-key-work-like-tab-in-asp-net-applications http://www.dotnetcurry.com/showarticle.aspx?ID=538

i dont really get the logic. what for do you want enter to act as tab. And the fact that you still want the enter function. may be this will help but im not sure. if (Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar) == 13) // Enter { SendKeys.Send({tab}); e.Handled = true; }
