Using Keypress to Add Item to Listbox

Question

Hi,

I have a textbox and a listbox and I'd like to have the listbox add an item (based on textbox) when enter is pressed.

I am using vb 2008

Please help, I am struggling lol. Thanks!

Answer 1

Just create a method like so:

void AddItemToListBox(string item)
{
    lstMyList.Items.Add(item);
}

Then hook this up to the key down event of the text box for when the Enter key is pressed:

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) 
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) 
    {
        AddItemToListBox(textBox1.Text);
    }
}
