MultiLine textbox AcceptsReturn problem

[Kliot]

I have a windows form with a multiline textbox on it, when the user hits the enter key the focus moves to the next textbox instead of entering a new line. I have set the AcceptsReturn property to True and it doesn't make a difference.

How can I get the enter key to insert a new line?

I'm puzzled because on some forms it works correctly and on others it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Thanks
Perrin

Check the textbox's event handler, i.e. KeyPress, KeyDown, and so on.

Mansii,

I have and there are no events associated with the textbox.

First, I have to ask because you didn't say, but Multiline is set to true right?. Next I would suggest searching your whole program and make sure something isn't resetting either of those properties to false. If you are still having problems remove it and add it back making sure it has at least a slightly different name from before. That should cover property, code, or some IDE problems.
