How can I make the program do something when a person presses enter after pressing the Enter key on the keyboard? What does the textbox need to handle a Enter key press event?

If Keys.Enter Then :)
-Simple isn't it:))

KeyPressEventArgs does not have a property that returns a value from the Keys enumeration.

I'm assuming you are directing him to use the KeyDown event, which has a parameter of type KeyEventArgs. Although it would be more convenient to use that event because no conversion is required to use the Keys enumeration, you get an annoying system beep if you try to handle the enter key there. Most people would not be happy with that, so the more correct answer is to handle KeyPress.

Handle the KeyPress event of the TextBox. If you try to handle it in the KeyDown event, you'll get an annoying system beep.

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, _
   ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles _
   TextBox1.KeyPress
   
   If e.KeyChar = Convert.ToChar(Keys.Enter) Then
      
      DoSomething();

      'This tells the system not to process
      'the key, as you've already taken care 
      'of it 
      e.Handled = True 
   End If

End Sub
