[TrooperIronMan]

which of events to use, and if none of them is actually one for this purpose I though of using KeyPress, but not sure how to make expresion that check if key is Enter (and then execute some method)???

Hello, The KeyDown Event is what you are looking for.

YourTextBox.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(CheckKeys);

private void CheckKeys(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
//Do what you whant!
}
}

All the best, Martin

Here is my sample, but for KeyDown event: private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { switch (e.KeyCode) { case Keys.Enter: DoSomeStuff(); e.SuppressKeyPress = true; return; case Keys.Escape: DoSomeStuff(); e.SuppressKeyPress = true; e.Handled = true; return; case Keys.Space: DoSomeStuff(); e.SuppressKeyPress = true; e.Handled = true; return; case Keys.B: DoSomeStuff(); e.SuppressKeyPress = true; e.Handled = true; return; } }

Looks like deleting youre question was not the best idea!

I think you need KeyDown or KeyUp. add the event handler where you can do: if(e.KeyCode == KeyCode.Enter){ //Do something } it should be something like this... Hope this helps.

Was just a joke! Maybe it has something todo, with the prevention of hacks, which chris maunder had to implement.
