Thanks,

RE: Key Press Capture

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.

RE: Key Press Capture

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,

RE: Key Press Capture

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

}

}
