Hi I need help with the code below, if you see the code comments it will be clear what I try to achieve.
I've tried my best but I can't seem to do it on my own so any help would be greatly appreciated.
CODE

        private void rtfSend_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) e.Handled = false;
            else e.Handled = true;
            {  
                if (e.Control == true & e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
                // User Pushed Enter Key and Control,
                // We don't want the body of Rich TextBox to capture the new line
                // and need to remove the new line somehow.
                // However only when Control and Enter are pushed at the same time.
                {
                    //Some Function here to remove the extra line made by Enter Key
                    msg.Body = rtfSend.Text;
                    rtfSend.Text = "";
                }
            }
        }

Are you receiving any errors? Does this code not work that way you intended it? When asking for help there are a couple items that are vital in order for someone to properly help you:

  • Post the code you're having problems with (DONE)
  • Post the exact error you're receiving, if you are receiving one
  • If no error explain what the code is doing versus what you want it to do
  • Post your question in the body of your post, not the description field

I don't get any errors, what happens is that im typing in a RichTextBox
I don't want a new line created in the box if I push down Control+Enter Key, however I do want a new line if I push down Enter
Control+Enter is "hotkey" for some code, so I dont want the RichTextBox to update with a new line.

You code implies you are removing the line entered by the key combination Ctrl+Enter, how will you then implement the new line command in the RTF control?

I would suggest you change your hotkey to Alt+Enter, otherwise you are changing the expected behavour of the control. Users will find it easier to remember the change in the hotkey than remembering the change in the RTF control.
