Hello!
I have a problem where i have a lots of textboxes to take input....so now whenever i enter a value in it and move on to another textbox I press 'Tab' key to shift between the texboxes so what I want to do is "Enter" key to do the same thing for me......ie Press Enter to shift to the Next Textbox......any one have idea on that please Help me.......
by default there are keyboard driver codes to work according to there functionality , in u r case you may have to write extra to code to overcome those functionality.
Rocky... why not just take the two keys off of your keyboard and swap them over???
Because, when someone else uses your keyboard they will get confused.... Which is the whole point. Somebody who uses Windows exepcts the TAB to move the focus between controls on the screen. They expect ENTER to fire the default button.
So, unless you have a really strong reason for doing this, I'd just swap the keys over on YOUR keyboard, that way it will still work as expected on other peoples.
OK, A bit of humour, but with a serious message too.
you could do something like this:
but, as rliq said, this is probably not what your users will expect the application to do when they hit the Enter key...Code:using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace entertab
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)
textBox2.Focus();
}
private void textBox2_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)
textBox3.Focus();
}
private void textBox3_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)
Submit();
}
private void Submit()
{
//do stuff.
}
}
}
I am doing this simple math game where young kids will feel easier to answer the next question after pressing enter isn't it??
Maybe you could do it in a wizard-style with only one question per page..?
should i ask only x + y = ------- in a single page?? the whole page would be so much empty, plus I have 24 question and 24 text boxes area to take the answer....
Well the page would be small then :)
If I were to make an app like this, I would use a TabPage or similar Wizard layout and keep the questions/problems separate. Of course, it's up to you.
Why waste an entire form on this then ¿
If you want the questions one by one, make use of an InputBox, and guess what, pressing Enter in an InputBox automatically dismisses it, storing your answer, and solving your Enter Key problem ;)
I'll have to try that out :) never used that control before, but it sounds spot on :thumb:Quote:

take a look at this
This could work for you...
Just make sure that your tab indexes are in the correct order.Code:// this would be a method that all textboxes would use.
// or you could be it into it's own method and call the method at the end of the
// individual event handlers of each textbox.
private void AllTextBoxes_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
e.Handled = true;
KeyEventArgs eInsertBack = new KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource, 0, Key.Tab);
eInsertBack.RoutedEvent = UIElement.KeyDownEvent;
InputManager.Current.ProcessInput(eInsertBack);
}
}
You probably should have stated that you were using WPF.
I am extreamly sorry for that but AllTextBoxes_KeyDown is not working....it does not give any error either...when I put the names for each textboxes it works well but when I try to put AllTextBoxes it does not work with no errors either.....
