Textbox navigation

Question

I want to get focus from one text box to another using keyboard keys not by mouse click .so I wrote the code but it doesn't work. It shows some error. The code is:

C#

private void keypressHandler(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {
if (e.KeyChar == Keys.Enter) {
SendKeys.SendWait("{TAB}");
}
}

The error I get is:
operator==cannot be applied to operands of type 'char' and System.windows.forms.keys"

How can I remove the error? If it's a wrong way then give correct code.

Solution 1

Instead of 'e.KeyChar == Keys.Enter' try:
e.KeyChar == 11

See this page for details: KeyChar values[^]

Thus, something like:

C#

if (e.KeyChar.Equals(Convert.ToChar(11)))
{
    SendKeys.SendWait("{TAB}");
}
