.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / June 2007How to allow user to enter 'Enter' in a RichTextBox
In VS05, I have a form that has a standard RichTextBox control in which my client wants to be able to type an Enter key and have the RichTextBox respond by inserting a new line instead of either moving to the next control in the Z order or closing the form. He doesn't want to use Ctrl+Enter. He wants to use a plain Enter key. Now, back in the Bad Ole Days, there was an attribute 'WantsReturnKey' that would enable exactly this sort of behaviour but I do not see that particular attribute available now. What must one do so that the Enter key is inserted into the RichTextBox instead of being passed to the default form?

Thanks. It never occurred to me to look there. By the way, you'll love this - now my client has filed a bug report saying that the Tab key no longer shifts focus out of the RichTextBox. Pardon me while I go find something flat and unyielding against which to repeatedly apply my forehead with the most speed and force I can muster.
