Raise keydown event

[hansaplast]

I want to raise a keydown event from within a function. How do I do that?

Without really knowing what you are trying to do, you could call the KeyDown method from within another method or function and pass the key as KeyEventArgs.

Example Code. The button just sends the Enter key to the keydown method.

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            If Not TextBox1.Text.Trim = "" Then
                MsgBox(TextBox1.Text)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1_KeyDown(Nothing, New KeyEventArgs(Keys.Enter))
    End Sub

He Thanks. This works within the same class.

However, I want to raise TextBox1_KeyDown event from a different class. I can make the event public but since it's an event I don't think its the proper way to do it.

Any suggestions here?

[Class 1]

    Public Event TextBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        raiseevent TextBox_KeyDown(sender, e)
    End Sub

[Class 2]

Private WithEvents myClass as Class1

Private Sub myClass.TextBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles myClass.TextBox_KeyDown
   Msgbox e.KeyCode.ToString()
End Sub

Err should be Private Sub myClass_TextBox_KeyDown

not

Private Sub myClass.TextBox_KeyDown

I wrote it from memory so no IDE to error check.
