Enter key press in C#

Question

I tried this code:

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {     if (Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar) == 13)      {         MessageBox.Show(" Enter pressed ");     } } 

and this:

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {     if (e.KeyChar == Convert.ToChar(Keys.Enter))     {         MessageBox.Show(" Enter pressed ");     } } 

and this:

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {     if (e.KeyChar == Keys.Enter)     {         MessageBox.Show(" Enter pressed ");     } } 

but they're not working...

When I write something and press Enter, it doesn't work. It only highlights my text.

Answer 1

Try this code,might work (Assuming windows form):

private void CheckEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) {     if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)     {         // Enter key pressed     } } 

Register the event like this :

this.textBox1.KeyPress += new  System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(CheckEnter); 

Answer 2

You must try this in keydown event

here is the code for that :

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)     {         if (e.Key == Key.Enter)         {             MessageBox.Show("Enter pressed");         }     } 

Update :

Also you can do this with keypress event.

Try This :

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)     {         if (e.KeyChar == Convert.ToChar(Keys.Return))         {             MessageBox.Show("Key pressed");         }     }
