Enter Key Down and Simultaneous Control Write

[TheQ]

I am trying to create a dialog with one field with the behavior such that, after the user fills in the field and hits the enter or return key the new value is returned.  However, the problem I am running into is that the Key Down event cancels the write to the control from occurring.  I can't use the Value Change event because the user has the choice to leave the value the same and just hit enter (i.e. No change).  Any ideas or suggestions?

Right-click on the "String" control and select "Update Value while Typing".

Is there a way to do it with a numeric control instead of a string?

Yes, but you have no monitor every key press within the numeric control to wait for a return character, and exit on that.

I knocked up a quick example (attached, LV 8.5.1)
