Catching carrage return

I am trying to catch the carrage return with this code I found on net but doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens.
Is there another way to do it



If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) Then

    Its not a bug, you need to create a derived control and override the Control.IsInputKey method.


    protected override bool IsInputKey(Keys keyData)
    {
       if ((keyData & Keys.KeyCode) == Keys.Enter)
       {
          return true;
       }
       
       return base.IsInputKey(keyData);
    }

     



    Protected Overrides Function IsInputKey(ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
       
       If ((keyData And Keys.KeyCode) = Keys.Enter) Then
          Return True
       End If
       
       Return MyBase.IsInputKey(keyData)

    End Function
     

    Once you have done that the KeyPress event should be raised on ENTER.

    Thanks David,
    I am new to vb net so I don't know anything about derived controls and overiding but am about to find out.
    Thanks again,

    I just added a break point in the cbbURL_KeyPress and the return does not call this routine. Do you think I should post a bug report or do you think others have reported it

    At times you have to check for Chr (10 ) too .
