See more:

I have a C sharp application. It contains a MultiLine TextBox. Now I want, when a user press Enter key it jumps to next line instead of different control(that i used in condition). When user press Enter key twice then only it jumps to next control. So i require the if statement.

Need Suggestion
Thanks in advance

Why aren't you using the Tab key to move from Control to Control ?

Solution 1

Look at the AcceptsReturn property in the designer view if your TextBox; or set it to True programmatically.

Your question is marked as C# and you asked about the user pressing the Enter key. I don't understand what this VB6 code has to do with any of that.

Solution 2

The default expectation in a multiline textbox is for the enter key go to a new line, not jump to another control.

Pressing enter twice is even more confusing.

Solution 3

It Doesn't work. Ok if anyone know the VB6 then here's the code as i had done it in VB.

If KeyAscii = 13 Then
If Right(Trim(textBox1.Text), 2) = Chr(13) & Chr(10) Then
KeyAscii = 0
textBox1.Text = Trim(Left(textBox1.Text, Len(textBox1.Text) - 2))
textBox2.SetFocus
End If
Else
KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Chr(KeyAscii)))
End If
