It's by design. The enter key is as "command key". You can overwrite
ProcessCmdKey to handle it:
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey( _
ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, _
ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) _
As Boolean
If keyData = Keys.Enter Then
Debug.WriteLine("enter pressed")
Return True
End If
End Function
Whether you have to Return True depends (see docs for
ProcessCmdKey)
