I have a few TextBox on the WinForm. I would like the focus to move to the next control when Enter key is pressed? Whenever a textbox gains control, it will also select the text, so that any editing will replace the current one.
What is the best way to do this?
Tab as Enter: create a user control which inherits textbox, override the KeyPress
method. If the user presses enter you can either call SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
or System.Windows.Forms.Control.SelectNextControl()
. Note you can achieve the same using the KeyPress
event.
Focus Entire text: Again, via override or events, target the GotFocus
event and then call TextBox.Select
method.
A couple of code examples in C# using SelectNextControl .
The first moves to the next control when ENTER is pressed.
private void Control_KeyUp( object sender, KeyEventArgs e )
{
if( (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Return) )
{
this.SelectNextControl( (Control)sender, true, true, true, true );
}
}
The second uses the UP and DOWN arrows to move through the controls.
private void Control_KeyUp( object sender, KeyEventArgs e )
{
if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Up )
{
this.SelectNextControl( (Control)sender, false, true, true, true );
}
else if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Down )
{
this.SelectNextControl( (Control)sender, true, true, true, true );
}
}
See MSDN SelectNextControl Method
In a KeyPress event, if the user pressed Enter, call
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
Nicest way to implement automatically selecting the text on receiving focus is to create a subclass of TextBox in your project with the following override:
Protected Overrides Sub OnGotFocus(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
SelectionStart = 0
SelectionLength = Text.Length
MyBase.OnGotFocus(e)
End Sub
Then use this custom TextBox in place of the WinForms standard TextBox on all your Forms.
You can put a KeyPress
handler on your TextBoxes, and see which key was used.
To handle the text selection, put a handler on the GotFocus
event.
You may also want to consider how to (or if you need to) handle multi-line TextBoxes.
This may help:
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
//
// Detect the KeyEventArg's key enumerated constant.
//
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
MessageBox.Show("You pressed enter! Good job!");
}
}
private void txt_invoice_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
txt_date.Focus();
}
private void txt_date_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
txt_patientname.Focus();
}
}
You could also write your own Control for this, in case you want to use this more often. Assuming you have multiple TextBoxes in a Grid, it would look something like this:
public class AdvanceOnEnterTextBox : UserControl
{
TextBox _TextBox;
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(String), typeof(AdvanceOnEnterTextBox), null);
public static readonly DependencyProperty InputScopeProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("InputScope", typeof(InputScope), typeof(AdvanceOnEnterTextBox), null);
public AdvanceOnEnterTextBox()
{
_TextBox = new TextBox();
_TextBox.KeyDown += customKeyDown;
Content = _TextBox;
}
/// <summary>
/// Text for the TextBox
/// </summary>
public String Text
{
get { return _TextBox.Text; }
set { _TextBox.Text = value; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Inputscope for the Custom Textbox
/// </summary>
public InputScope InputScope
{
get { return _TextBox.InputScope; }
set { _TextBox.InputScope = value; }
}
void customKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (!e.Key.Equals(Key.Enter)) return;
var element = ((TextBox)sender).Parent as AdvanceOnEnterTextBox;
if (element != null)
{
int currentElementPosition = ((Grid)element.Parent).Children.IndexOf(element);
try
{
// Jump to the next AdvanceOnEnterTextBox (assuming, that Labels are inbetween).
((AdvanceOnEnterTextBox)((Grid)element.Parent).Children.ElementAt(currentElementPosition + 2)).Focus();
}
catch (Exception)
{
// Close Keypad if this was the last AdvanceOnEnterTextBox
((AdvanceOnEnterTextBox)((Grid)element.Parent).Children.ElementAt(currentElementPosition)).IsEnabled = false;
((AdvanceOnEnterTextBox)((Grid)element.Parent).Children.ElementAt(currentElementPosition)).IsEnabled = true;
}
}
}
}
尝试使用:
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
