set the KeyDown event on the object you are monitoring to your 'do stuff' event.

private void Enter_Click(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)

{

try

{

var s = e.KeyValue;

if (s == 13) //13 is the keyvalue for the 'Enter' key

{

OK.PerformClick();

}

}

catch (Exception err)

{

stuff

}

}

Hi,

Thanks.

I resolve it using this.

private void SaveRecord_ValidateBeforeOriginal(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)

        {

            if (System.Windows.Input.Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.Return))

            {

                e.Cancel = true;

            }

        }

Thanks,

EV

If you don't want pressing enter to execute the Save button, go to User Preferences and change the Entry Key from Tab to Return.

No need for complex code.
