ActiveX IE Control and the Enter button conflict

[Tim_C.]

I have a VI that I modified from this site "LB Browser"

The problem is that when you are browsing and you strike the enter key as part of a page search function or some other page function.  The enter key is recieved in LV and LV performs some other operation.  For example my GUI has a back button so if I hit the enter key thinking it will do a search operation LV intercepts the key strike and could send the web page back 1 screen.

I know the focus is on the web page prior to hitting the enter key because I had just enter text in a web page text entry area.

Does anyone know how to force LV to ignore the enter key during the web page viewing?

Thanks in advance

Advanced>>Key navigation allows on a per control basis to link key actions to events such as button pushes.  I would susbect that if your application uses a OK button started as a template the enter wi pressing the OK and stopping yopur application.  Just a guess without seeing the code.  You can also use filter events on your application (Key down? event) but that is more work.

I'm sorry,  I don't follow what your suggestion is,  could you clearify a bit?

Thanks

I a thinking you have linked key navigation to buttons.  To change this, right click on the buttong and choose the menu option Advanved >> Key navigation and remove the enter key from the button;s value change action.  Otherwise enter will press your "back button" and the action associated with the back event will occur.
