Hi

This code should work. You are trying to intercept the on key press event.

procedure TForm1.Edit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
begin
if Key = #13 then //#13 = enter
begin
//----- Add Method Call in here -----
//just a line to prove it works
Messagebox(handle,'test','test',MB_Ok);
end;
end;
