RETURN key press sound a beep in TextBox

[claudio]

I need to handle the return key into the textbox controls.

The reason is because some industrial devices has a keyboard and users often prefer to use the RETURN key to go to the next field.

I can trap the key with this code:

Sub MyText(key)
If key = Chr(13) Then
fldDESCRIPT.Focus
End If
End Sub

And the focus goes to the next field but the device sound a beep, there
are some way to switch off that beep.

Thanks
Claudio

It is Windows that is producing the sound. On Vista it is Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds -> "Default Beep". On XP it is Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds -> "Default Beep".

Edit : You said "devices". On a device it is Settings > Personal -> Sounds and Notifications -> Events (warnings, system events)

I had noticed that as well and was curious. So there's no way within Basic4PPC to disable the beep for that particular scenario then? Not like it's a big thing, it just sort of makes you think there's an error everytime.

I wonder that .NET doesn't have a way to switch off it, but if is not so,
there are a way to stop the message propagation? I'm not a .NET expert.

Many thanks
