Try to change this line : If event.data=KEY_UP Then
by this line : If event.data=KEY_ENTER Then

But the program made nothing ??? why ???

Strict

OnEnd VerifyQuit

Global MainWindow:TGadget = CreateWindow("Test", (Desktop().Width/2)-200,(Desktop().Height/2)-200,400,400)
Global TextField1:TGadget = CreateTextField(10,10,120,24,MainWindow)
ActivateGadget(TextField1)
SetGadgetFilter(TextField1, TextField1Filter)

Main()

End


Function Main()

While True
	WaitEvent()
	
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
	End Select

Wend

End Function


Function VerifyQuit()
	If Proceed("Are you sure you want to quit?")<> 1 Then 
		OnEnd VerifyQuit
		main()
	EndIf
End Function


Function TextField1Filter(Event:TEvent, Context:Object)
	Select event.id
		Case EVENT_KEYDOWN
			If event.data=KEY_UP Then
				End
			EndIf
	End Select
	
	Return 1
End Function

Because Key_enter has an internal importance on textfields and textareas (-> line break) and thus don't fire an event. (there are some other keys that behave similar)

And there is absolutely no solution ?????
because i want test the return key from
a textfield url for an internal web browser.

No not unless you modify the underlying C sources or skid decides to change that. (think there was a thread on that, just can't remember in which board.)

I'm sorry.
I've to correct myself.

Return only does not fire event on TextField.
BUT it works on textarea at least on the Filter, so you might try to use that for a similar solution (as you can fully surpress linebreaks by the filter)
