To teach your self start out with what is available to you. The keypress event has 2 arguments. The sender and the e. Well you know who the sender is...the text box. well what's e? inside the routine, press e and then the period. you get options of what's available to you. you'll see a property called 'keychar'. that is the character representation of what you pressed. well what are you looking for? the return key. so test for it. Private Sub txt_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txt.KeyPress if e.keychar = controlchars.cr then 'run any code you want... end if End Sub
