EnterKey to press button in VBA Userform

Question

I have a userform in Excel that asks for a username and password  Once you enter your password if you press Enter it just  selects  the next item which is the LogIn button  but it doesn t press it  You have to hit Enter again to actually press the button   How can I make it so when the user presses enter on his keyboard the LogIn button is pressed and the code associated to is runs  Logincode click

Use the TextBox s Exit event handler   Private Sub TextBox1 Exit ByVal Cancel As MSForms ReturnBoolean      Logincode Click   End Sub

Further to  Penn s comment  and in case the link breaks  you can also achieve this by setting the Default property of the button to True  you can set this in the properties window  open by hitting F4   That way whenever Return is hit  VBA knows to activate the button s click event  Similarly setting the Cancel property of a button to True would cause that button s click event to run whenever ESC key is hit  useful for gracefully exiting the Userform     Source  Olivier Jacot-Descombes s answer accessible here https   stackoverflow com a 22793040 6609896

This one worked for me   Private Sub TextBox1 KeyDown ByVal KeyCode As MSForms ReturnInteger  ByVal Shift As Integer          If KeyCode   13 Then              Button1 Click         End If End Sub

Here you can simply use    SendKeys   ENTER   at the end of code linked to the Username field   And so you can skip pressing ENTER Key once  one time   And as a result  the next button   Log In  button here  will be activated  And when you press ENTER once  your desired outcome   It will run code which is linked with  Log In  button

You could also use the TextBox s On Key Press event handler    Keycode for  Enter  is 13 Private Sub TextBox1 KeyDown KeyCode As Integer  Shift As Integer      If KeyCode   13 Then          Logincode Click     End If End Sub   Textbox1 is an example  Make sure you choose the textbox you want to refer to and also Logincode Click is an example sub which you call  run  with this code  Make sure you refer to your preferred sub

Be sure to avoid  magic numbers  whenever possible  either by defining your own constants  or by using the built-in vbXXX constants   In this instance we could use vbKeyReturn to indicate the enter key s keycode  replacing YourInputControl and SubToBeCalled       Private Sub YourInputControl KeyDown ByVal KeyCode As MSForms ReturnInteger  ByVal Shift As Integer          If KeyCode   vbKeyReturn Then              SubToBeCalled         End If    End Sub   This prevents a whole category of compatibility issues and simple typos  especially because VBA capitalizes identifiers for us   Cheers
