I am developing a mac standalone app.
I want to let user press enter on search button to get result from DB.
Is there any way we can give control to search when user presses 'Enter Key'.
It works great on 'Space Bar'.
How can it be possible on 'Enter Key' in objective C.
Just set your button's "key equivalent" to the return key. To do that, select your button in the Interface Builder, open the inspector, and look for the entry labeled "key equivalent". Click it, and hit the return key. That's it!
But if you have a search box already, it's usually a better idea to do away with the search button. For example, Safari's Google search field doesn't have a "Google Search" button. Instead, hitting the return key at the end of the search phrase automatically triggers the search. If you want to do that, you just need to set the target and the action for the search box.

In a HTML application I need to put text and press Enter key in order to perform search task. There is no alternate of pressing Enter key to search text. In Blue prism I couldn't find way of sending Enter key (or any other hotkey) after writing text to search element.
Use Navigate stage in business object/process
Double click on navigate stage
Select root app element and drag & drop element to his position and Actions combobox , select Global Send Keys
Type {ENTER} in right hand side
Reset business object
Run application
Navigate Stage, use the main app element in the given list, drag and drop in his position, and in Actions comboBox, select Global Send Keys.
Go down, in Text input, write "{ENTER}" and Done.
Use NAVIGATE, in it use your Element(field, where you put your text) and in Action dropbox you will have "Send Key" or "Global Send Key". Choose one of those and at the bottom of Navigate window there will be Input section where you can type in(as a text) button which you need: "Enter"
I want to know how to make my Text box (or Address bar) accept the Return/Enter key as a form of submitting a search.
Currently I have a button which submits the search, and not the textbox itself.
Thanks.

Assuming WinForms, set the AcceptButton property of your Form to that Button. Now when you hit enter the button will be automatically clicked for you:
Gets or sets the button on the form that is clicked when the user
presses the ENTER key.
I'm building on top of code that a previous developer has left me, and he left something that intrigued me quite a bit.
Basically on his menus, he has a TextBox to take in user input and a button next to it to submit the value of the TextBox (for example if the user wanted to select option 1, he would input 1 into the TextBox and click the button). However, the user could also press the Enter key while focusing the TextBox, and it would be treated as the submit button was clicked.
Now this is simple enough to do, but when I check the VB code behind the menu, there's no TextBox_Keydown(...) Handles TextBox.Keydown function anywhere, only the button click event. How is he doing this? He has several menus that are similar and I can't figure out how.
A standard dialog box, if not told to act otherwise, enter does default command button and escape does cancel. In VB look at the properties Default for the command button.
I discovered how he was doing it. He basically mapped the AcceptButton and CancelButton properties of the entire Windows Form to various button functions.
I am new to Objective c programming. I have created an application which has a UI with two buttons "Cancel" and "Ok". On clicking "Cancel", the application must terminate and clicking "Ok" must perform some task. Everything works fine. I am able to tab between these buttons and can call the required functionality by clicking space button.
All I want to do is, that when focus is on "Cancel" button(using tab key) then on clicking enter button from keyboard, my application should terminate and similarly, when focus is on "Ok" button then clicking enter should perform the desired functionality.
I have even set the 'setKeyEquivalent" property of the "Ok" and "Cancel" button, but I can only set unique keyequivalents. I also tried to read the title or tag value of the buttons and then call the required functionality but it didn't worked too.
Can someone please guide me how can I use enter button to invoke different functions depending upon the selected button in UI.
I think you don't want to set key equivalents for the buttons. You would want to override keyDown: and test for the enter key, then do the appropriate thing depending on which button had focus (which I think you could determine using NSWindow's firstResponder method).
I have a collection of example documents in PDF forms that are viewed by clients, They all include a "Example" watermark prominently displayed but I have had some issues with clients trying to fill in the example forms and submitting as Official forms, normally followed by a support phone call from the client. I am looking for a way to pop up a message in the pdf if the client trys to type or click in the example document, I know how to pop up a message if they click in a form field but some of my documents do not have any form fields so I am looking for a way to show a message if a client trys to type or click anywhere in the actual document. I am using Acrobat X Pro.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!
Plop a big invisible button (not hidden, invisible) over the entire page, with a click action that pops up a message dialog with whatever warning you wish.
