Press enter in textbox to and execute button command in WinForms

To enable pressing the enter key in a TextBox control to execute a button command in a WinForms application, you can handle the KeyDown event of the TextBox and check if the pressed key is the Enter key. If the Enter key is pressed, you can then execute the command associated with the button.

Here's an example:

private void myTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { // Execute the button command myButton.PerformClick(); e.Handled = true; } }

In this example, we handle the KeyDown event of the myTextBox control. We check if the KeyCode property of the KeyEventArgs object is equal to Keys.Enter, which represents the Enter key. If the Enter key is pressed, we execute the command associated with the myButton control using the PerformClick method, and set the Handled property of the KeyEventArgs object to true to prevent further processing of the Enter key.

To associate the myTextBox_KeyDown method with the KeyDown event of the myTextBox control, you can either add the event handler code manually in the code editor, or use the following code in the Form_Load event handler:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { myTextBox.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(myTextBox_KeyDown); }

In this example, we add a new event handler for the myTextBox control's KeyDown event, which calls the myTextBox_KeyDown method when the event is raised.

By handling the KeyDown event of the TextBox control, you can enable users to press the Enter key to execute a button command in your WinForms application.
