Question

{
    if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
        //do something

}

What I want is that after the above keydownevent in textbox named tbox. I want the virtual keyboard visible on the phone screen to drop off, when I click Enter button. How could this be achieved?

Answer 1

you just need to set the focus to the page not the textbox.

private void tbox_KeyDown_1(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
    {
        this.Focus();
    }
}
