Trying to figure out how to set an event when the enter key is pressed in a textbox

The code I'm playing with is:

open System
open System.Windows.Forms
open System.Drawing

let tehform = new Form(Text = "STOP!", Width = 200, Height = 200)
let awe = new TextBox(Left = 1, Top = 30, Width = 100)
let stuff _ _ = MessageBox.Show(awe.Text) |> ignore
let handler = new EventHandler(stuff)
let yeah = new Button(Text = "", Left = 20, Top = 60, Width = 80)
yeah.Click.AddHandler(handler)
let ms = new MenuStrip()
let file = new ToolStripDropDownButton("File")
let ddi = file.DropDownItems.Add("Hi")
ddi.Click.AddHandler(handler) |> ignore
ms.Items.Add(file) |> ignore
let dc c = (c :> Control)
tehform.Controls.AddRange([| dc yeah; dc ms; dc awe |])

I thought after looking at the library I could use awe.OnEnter.AddHandler (handler), but that didn't work either. Thanks for the help!

OnEnter is fired when the TextBox receives focus. Use the OnKeyDown event and check the Keys property of the args events.



Here's the MSDN documentation .
