How to get rid of the gong sound when enter is hit in textbox?
Subclass from TextBox, override ProcessDialogKey and do the following: protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData) { if(keyData == Keys.Return) { return true; } else if(keyData == Keys.Escape) { return true; } else return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData); } The idea is to prevent the base class from processing certain keys.
