Use "ENTER" key for button

Question

Hi, 

I have a a form which has one button.  I would like to use the "ENTER" key instead of clicking on the button to log in.

Here's the button code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (username.Text == "test" && password.Text == "test")
            {
                this.Hide();
                Form1 fr = new Form1();
                fr.Show();
            }

            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Incorrect Name or Password");
            }
        }

Answer 1

Hello rushelp,

Define button1 as an "Accept Button" of your form.

Go into your Form's properties and assign button1 as the AcceptButton.

The button's click event will be triggered when the user presses Enter.

Answer 2

You can do this by setting the button as the Form's AcceptButton. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.acceptbutton.aspx
