Enter key vs Return key

[zacks]

Is there any way to distinguish the keypad Enter key from the standard
Return key?

I think that this was asked some weeks ago (try to search Google) and I
think that not using .NET but maybe using the subclassing to trap the
WM_KEYDOWN message and getting the info from the wparam or lparam. See:

I may be wrong but doesn't the Keycode in the KeyDown or KeyUp events
differentiate beween these keys?

Private IsExtendedKey As Boolean

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)

Const WM_KEYDOWN As Integer = &H100
Const WM_KEYUP As Integer = &H101

If m.Msg = WM_KEYDOWN OrElse m.Msg = WM_KEYUP Then
IsExtendedKey = (m.LParam.ToInt32 And &H1000000) <> 0
End If

MyBase.WndProc(m)

End Sub


In KeyDown/KeyUp, you can check IsExtendedKey now.

Hi Dennis,

The KeyCode is Return (13) in both cases, which makes sense, since your app
normally is not interested in the physical key that was pressed.
