.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / February 2007None of the KeyXXX events seem to be firing on my form :-(
Hi All, I need to submit a form when the user presses enter. No problem I think to myself - I'll just use the KeyDown event of the form. So I've added an event handler for that event (and the other Key events) and everything builds, but I can't seem to get the events to fire :-( Can anyone think why this might happen? Am I supossed to do this sort of thing in the Form's Key down event? I need the form to submit no matter which control on the form has focus. Many thanks to anyone who can help Simon Have you set the Form's KeyPreview proepty to true?  SignatureHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP Software Composer http://unclechutney.blogspot.com I had the same problem once. Fixed it using the same solution. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Simon > Have you set the Form's KeyPreview proepty to true? Hmm - I'll have a look at that. I've never actually heard of it so the answers no.... >Add a button control to the form and assign it to the form's 'AcceptButton' property. I can't - I'm using toolstrip buttons which dont seem to work as the accept buttons for the form. I'd rather get the keyboard thing working anyway :-) Thanks for your help "Simon Harvey" <nothanks@hotmail.com> schrieb: > I need to submit a form when the user presses enter.
