How to capture enter key press?

private void pathTextBox_KeyPress(Object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
      if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
       {
            ReflectCurrentPathInTreeView();
       }
}

Could any body explain why this code snippet doesn't work for me, i.e the ReflectCurrentPathInTreeView() method doesn't get called.

I believe this is what you are looking for:

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)
    {
        treeView1.Nodes.Add(textBox1.Text);
    }
}

(P.S. how come my code doesn't appear nice and color-coded? Is it an IE-only thing?)

And FYI, you'll probably want to handle the enter key so that you don't get a beep sound and it doesn't get passed down the chain. It only works in KeyDown not in Keypress or KeyUp so you'll have to use that event instead. (i.e. e.Handled = true)
