.NET Framework Class Library
KeyPressEventArgs..::.Handled Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the KeyPress event was handled.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property Handled As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As KeyPressEventArgs
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.Handled

instance.Handled = value
C#
public bool Handled { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
property bool Handled {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}
JScript
public function get Handled () : boolean
public function set Handled (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the event is handled; otherwise, false.
Remarks

If the event is not handled, it will be sent to the operating system for default processing. Set Handled to true to cancel the KeyPress event.

Examples

The following example creates a TextBox control. The keypressed method uses the KeyChar property to check whether the ENTER key is pressed. If the ENTER key is pressed, the Handled property is set to true, which indicates the event is handled.

Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Public Sub New()
        ' Create a TextBox control.
        Dim tb As New TextBox()
        Me.Controls.Add(tb)
        AddHandler tb.KeyPress, AddressOf keypressed
    End Sub 'New

    Private Sub keypressed(ByVal o As [Object], ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs)
        ' The keypressed method uses the KeyChar property to check 
        ' whether the ENTER key is pressed. 

        ' If the ENTER key is pressed, the Handled property is set to true, 
        ' to indicate the event is handled.

        If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
            e.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub 'keypressed
