[SOLVED] Catch Enter key without breaking it?

My old nemisis has returned and i can't figure it out. I need to know when Enter key is pressed inside an editorgadget without breaking the normal behavior. This will catch the enter key but does not move cursor to next line at the same time:
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(1, 100,100,310,510, "My_QUICK_NOTE w/autosave", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_TitleBar)
EditorGadget(1, 5, 5, 270, 500) : AddKeyboardShortcut(1,#PB_Shortcut_Return,2)
Repeat
_mess=WaitWindowEvent()
If _mess=#PB_Event_Menu
which=EventMenu()
If which=2
Debug "Enter was pressed"
EndIf
EndIf
Until _mess=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
I'm hoping for solution that does not require a callback. I hate callbacks.

Hi Randy
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(1, 100,100,310,510, "My_QUICK_NOTE w/autosave", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_TitleBar)
EditorGadget(1, 5, 5, 270, 500)
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Quit = 1
Case #WM_CHAR
key = EventwParam()
If key = 13
Debug "Return key pressed"
EndIf
EndSelect
Until Quit = 1
EndIf

I hate that so much. People that created and enabled that should be hung on he street corner for inflicting mass embarrassment. It's just not right.
