Using KeyPress event with DateTimePicker Control 1

[MikeCt]

Hi
I have a form with 2 DateTimePickers controls, DTPicker(1) and DTPicker(2)
I have the procedure below but the pressing of the return key does not trigger the event. If I press a number key the event is triggered. How can I detect if the return key is press if the keyPress event does not work with all the keys?

Private Sub DTPicker_KeyPress(Index As Integer, KeyAscii As Integer)
If Index = 1 Then
If KeyAscii = Asc(vbCrLf) Then DTPicker(2).SetFocus
Else
If KeyAscii = Asc(vbCrLf) Then DTPicker(1).SetFocus
End If
End Sub

Set the Forms Keypreview to true

then in each DtPickers KeyPress

Adapt this

If KeyAscii = 13 Then
SendKeys "{TAB}"
KeyAscii = 0

....... what u want
End If


n.b At Developement level SENDKEYS will require a workround Under Windows 7 ... Solutions to this are availabe at Tek Tips

Use the keydown event instead.

Hi
Setting the form Keypreview to true did not help. The Keypress event was not triggered with the pressing of the
Enter key.

Using the keydown event worked perfect and solved the problem

Thankyou
