I am trying to start a subroutine once "enter" has been hit after typing something in an edit box. For example, once I am finished typing whatever I want in the edit box, I do not want to go hit the submit button, rather, i would like to just hit enter to have that start. Much like when you are signing into your gmail account, you don't have to actually click "login" you can just hit enter once you've typed your username and password.

Hope this is possible, I could not find a simple solution yet.

Set the button you want to trigger with the Enter key as the Default button.

Thank you so much, I guess i was looking in the wrong place.

I understand the default parameter.

My question is, I have multiple edit boxes and submit buttons next to them. I would like to associate a submit button with the corresponding edit box, so that regardless of which edit box you are typing in, hitting "enter" will submit the query.

Thanks!

Generally, a design with multiple inputs still only includes one submit button, which is the default for all input controls. Multiple buttons providing the same function tend to look cluttered and confusing. Additionally, multiple edit controls can often be replaced by one ListView.
