Suppose you have a button that uses a Default property (set to true) and are editing text in a multiline text box on the same form. When you press the enter, the button’s click event fires rather than having a new line added to the text box.

Placing the following code into your click event on the default button on your form enables you to use a default button and a multiline text box on the same form. Basically, this code checks which control has the focus?if it’s a multiline textbox, the code cancels the button’s click event. You then have to send a newline to the text box manually.
