EnterKeyBehavior property

Defines the effect of pressing ENTER in a TextBox.

Syntax

object.EnterKeyBehavior [= Boolean ]

The EnterKeyBehavior property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. A valid object.
Boolean	Optional. Specifies the effect of pressing ENTER.

Settings

The settings for Boolean are:

Value	Description
True	Pressing ENTER creates a new line.
False	Pressing ENTER moves the focus to the next object in the tab order (default).

Remarks

The EnterKeyBehavior and MultiLine properties are closely related. The values described above only apply if MultiLine is True. If MultiLine is False, pressing ENTER always moves the focus to the next control in the tab order regardless of the value of EnterKeyBehavior.

The effect of pressing CTRL+ENTER also depends on the value of MultiLine. If MultiLine is True, pressing CTRL+ENTER creates a new line regardless of the value of EnterKeyBehavior. If MultiLine is False, pressing CTRL+ENTER has no effect.
