I have the following code in my keypress event so the user can move through
the form by pressing the "Enter" key.

Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress

If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then

    e.Handled = True ' Don't beep

    SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")

End If

End Sub

This works fine for every control I have on the form with the exception of
one.

I have a multiline textbox and I want the user to be able to press the
"Enter" key to move to a new line within the textbox instead of tabbing to
the next control.

Anybody have any suggestions on how I can use the above KeyPress for every
control except the multiline textbox?

Thanks,

JS

Hello,

Sendkeys is ugly. Use SelectNextControl instead.

In Form1_Keypress, don't handle chr(13) when Activecontrol is the multiline
textbox.
