Prevent a button to react on Enter key

Question

How to prevent a button from react on Enter key press ?

It's important to understand that the 'Enter' keypress can't be filtered out, I still have to use the Enter 'sign'. Only the Button should not react on it

Answer 1

In keyDown event:

if(e.KeyCode != Keys.Enter)
{
    //code will go in here if any key is press except Enter
}

Hi,

If you are focused on the button and press 'enter' on the keyboard the 'Enter' keypress event doesn't raise (react) - but by pressing 'space' then it raises a buttonClick event and a keyPressEvent..

sounds a little confused.. but when does the 'enter' keyPress on a button raises that event?

Perhaps all that is necessary is to set the form's AcceptButton, as documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.acceptbutton.aspx.

Maybe the PreviewKeyDown event can be used. If not, you can try deriving from Button and overriding the IsInputKey method.
