This may sound like a stupid question, but I've looked everywhere and couldn't find the answer. How do you center something, like a textbox or button, in a form? And for it to remain centered when you maximize the program?

nevermind about this question, but I do have a new one. how do you make it so if you hit the Enter key (on your keyboard) an action will be done?

this is what I tried:

Private Sub vk_return_KeyDown()

Hey there stettybet0, sorry for the late reply.

Make a command button and set its properties so that "Defualt" is "true", put your coding in the command button. At runtime when you press enter it will automaticaly press the command buttone.

For Intrest sake: How To Set Exit Button.
Also you can use the "Esc" button on your keyboard to activate a button. Add a command button and set its "Cancel" property to "true" now when you press "Esc" the command button will be pressed.

Cool, I hope this worked for you. Let me know. Cool

Hello Mr. Ramstein fan ,

to your first question: centering a control on a form has to be done manually, but its easy maths, so it should not be difficult. Subtract width of control from width of form and divide by two.

Your second question. Do this:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
	  ...
   End If
End Sub

Hai Mac's solution worked. I tryed yours spike hacker, but i dont know how to set the properties you talked about.

[Hai Mac]

It's all in the Property window. Where you set the name for your controls etc.

By the way, I wonder where you get those Geek In Training etc. ranks? Just out of interest

[stettybet0]

Well, I didn't see the properties he was talking about. And I just have a Button, not sure if that's the same as a Command Button... I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express, by the way.

And you get Geek In Training ranks by joining GeekU!

Okay, so now I am working to get my basic menu buttons working (New, Open, Save, Save As, Print, Print Preview, Cut, Copy, Edit, Select All) and i honestly have no idea. I almost got New (as in open a new window of my internet browser), but instead of opening a new window of my browser, it opens a window of Microsoft Internet Explorer...

Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
		WebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank", "_blank")
	End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated... as would WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS INFO!?!?
