In VB6 program simulate "Tab"by pressing the enter key 3

[tyedyejenn]

I wrote a data entry program using VB6. I was under the impression users would use the Tab key to navigate through fields(I set up the tab indexes and such). Well the bosses would also like the option of using the enter key to navigate through fields(they want the user to be able to use either tab or enter to advance through fields) I thought maybe this could be done in the keypress event by checking the ascii value of the key pressed, but this was causing major extra work. I was hoping there was an easier solution. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help

Try this. Put this event handler in code pane for your form. Note that you should set the KeyPreview property of the form to True.


Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
KeyAscii = 0
SendKeys "{Tab}"
End If
End If
End Sub
