Processing Enter on Form Controls

[Todd Brown]

I've been having trouble correctly processing the "Enter" key on form
controls. Here's what I've done:

Set the "AcceptsReturn" property to true
Overridden IsInputKey and KeyDown; on KeyDown, if the "Enter" key was
pressed, I set e.Handled to true.

So now I'm receiving the event, which is good but.... When I press
"Enter" in that control (it's a text box, if that makes any difference)
I get the Windows "Default Beep." I don't want the default beep. Who
else is receiving this event, and why is it causing the default beep?
How do I stop this behavior?

On a related note: I remember writing Windows software back in the day,
and there were handy programs that would show me *all* of the events a
particular control received...event watchers. Does Visual Studio have
such a program and, if not, I assume there is something out there...if
anyone has any recommendations, I would welcome hearing them.

I suspect your textbox control's "Multiline" property is not set to
"true" and this is why you are hearing the beep.

The textbox's "Multiline" property is set to "true"...still haven't
figured out the default beep issue.
