using the KeyEventArgs.Handled prop

[djkno3]

Bet you guys love me now huh? :laugh: How is this used MSDN says squat about it (ok not squat but it might as well be :-D). I remember reading somwhere in one of my books about it being able to tell windows you will be handling certain key presses (like the cursor keys) so it will not take over in the next hooking phase. But dammed if I can find out...

Hi, This may help. For the KeyPress event of the control: private void tbMsg_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) { if( e.KeyChar == ( char )13 ) // (char)13 is the return key. { // Tell the system that the keypress has been handled. e.Handled = true; // Do something. Here I'm simulating a button press. button1_Click( this, e ); } } Nathan.
