Enter Key / Text Box

[mavest]

Taking a risk being stupid, I'll ask the following.

In Visio, I have a very small user form, only contains a textbox.

After the user enters a number they want to press the ENTER key to do some stuff with the number, i.e. run some VBA code that reads textbox.text and processes the number.

I've noticed that the KeyPressed event does not fire for the ENTER key! and can't seem to find any event that fires for the ENTER key. I must be missing something obvious, but have search many Visio forms, and the MSDN, as well as my VBA help files.

Please take pity on my stupidity - thanks!

I'd suggest adding a commandbutton to carry out your wishes.

The properties can be set so that ENTER will fire it off.

Sound great!

I hadn't thought about a hidden command button.

How do I set its properties such that ENTER is same as pressing the button.

Hi mavest,

I'm not sure with Visio but if you only have one button it is, by default, the default, so to speak. In other words you probably won't have to do anything - pressing Enter probably does act like the button was pressed.

Enjoy,
Tony
