hey peeps,
really stuck and its insanely annoying as it should be so simple!

i've had a tops week being a begginner getting a database with search facility going with little help so far. but getting an enter keypress on a textbox to perform the same as the button i've used to submit the search process is doing my nut in.

could someone please give example of (hopefully brief) code required to get the enter key to submit my search query, with a brief explanation of how it works. brief not vague mind, unfortunately i don't understand any similiar posts and i've googled my head off over it for as clear explanation, but alas no luck.

i have the search bit written and working, and its held in a button click event. how do i, when the search textbox has the cursor in it still after being written in, submit my search query by just pressing enter aswell as being able to use the button????

thanks in advance

Lost both Shift keys on your keyboard, have you? (You might want to consider the concept that, when you are asking for help it behooves you to minimize the burden on the one(s) who want to hel by as much as is possible. It is hard [harder, anyway] to find the start of a new sentence when there is not the cue that a starting cap provides. Just a thought...)

Is this a web project, or a Windows Forms project?

in all of my ten years internetting, including forum writing and emailing you are the first person ever to complain... i hope you don't have a cow every time you get a text message on your mobile phone ;)

anyway, i got a solution already from msdn forums and for any other newbies who similiarly didn't know where to start with this, here's a link to my recently solved post...

this post ended up also covering, in essence, baby steps into subroutines also.
