    i want to show messagebox by press enter on commandbardropdownlist, i use this code:

    Private Sub CommandBarDropDownList1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles CommandBarDropDownList1.KeyDown
            If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
                MsgBox("hello", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)
            End If
        End Sub

    but when i run it, there is nothing happened, is there something wrong with my code?

    Thanks

    Hello ricric,

    Do you have the DropDownStyle set to DropDown?
    If so, then you'd need to add the event handler to the TextBoxItem which will work for you. Please consider the following code

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.CommandBarDropDownList1.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDown
        AddHandler Me.CommandBarDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.TextBox.TextBoxItem.KeyDown, AddressOf CommandBarDropDownList1_KeyDown
    End Sub
    Private Sub CommandBarDropDownList1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            MsgBox("hello", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)
        End If
    End Sub

    If you have further questions, or a different requirement, please let me know
    Richard
