Key selection
In the DateTimePickerAdv, key selection can be detected by handling the event named, PreviewKeyDown. The following code example demonstrates the same.
C#
private void dateTimePickerAdv1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
{
//Checks whether the Enter key is pressed or not.
if (e.KeyValue == (Char)Keys.Enter)
{
MessageBox.Show("Enter key is pressed");
}
}
VB
Private Sub dateTimePickerAdv1_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles dateTimePickerAdv1.PreviewKeyDown
'Checks whether the Enter key is pressed or not.
If e.KeyValue = Keys.Enter Then
MessageBox.Show("Enter key is pressed")
End If
End Sub
