EnterKeyBehavior Property Example

The following example uses the EnterKeyBehavior property to control the effect of ENTER in a TextBox. In this example, the user can specify either a single-line or multiline TextBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A TextBox named TextBox1.
• Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 and ToggleButton2.

Dim TextBox1
Dim ToggleButton1
Dim ToggleButton2

Sub Item_Open()
    set TextBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("TextBox1")
    set ToggleButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton1")
    set ToggleButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton2")
    TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = True
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "EnterKeyBehavior is True"
    ToggleButton1.Width = 70
    ToggleButton1.Value = True
    
    TextBox1.MultiLine = True
    ToggleButton2.Caption = "MultiLine is True"
    ToggleButton2.Width = 70
    ToggleButton2.Value = True
    
    TextBox1.Height = 100
    TextBox1.WordWrap = True
    TextBox1.Text = "Type your text here. If EnterKeyBehavior is True,"& _
    " press Enter to start a new line. Otherwise, press SHIFT+ENTER."
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
    If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
        TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = True
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "EnterKeyBehavior is True"
    Else
        TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = False
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "EnterKeyBehavior is False"
    End If
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton2_Click()
    If ToggleButton2.Value = True Then
        TextBox1.MultiLine = True
        ToggleButton2.Caption = "MultiLine TextBox"
    Else
        TextBox1.MultiLine = False
        ToggleButton2.Caption = "Single-line TextBox"
    End If
End Sub
