The Return and Enter keys are not the same though they commonly work the
same way. But while pressing the Return key in multi-line editfield
adds a
carriage return, pressing the Enter key adds an Enter character (ascii
3).
In many cases the desired behavior would be to have the Enter key add a
carriage return just like the Return. Fortunately, making this happen
is a
simple matter. In the keydown event of the editfield, you simply need to
check for the enter key and return false from the keydown event to
filter
the keystroke then insert a carriage return. The code to do this in the
editfield keydown event looks like this:
if asc(key) = 3 then
me.seltext = chr(13)
return true
end if
