Question

I have a search text box on my WPF Windows. Whenever, the user presses enter key after writing some query in the textBox, the process should start.

Now, I also have this Search button, in the event of which I perform all this process.

So, for a texBox:

<TextBox x:Name="textBox1" Text="Query here" FontSize="20" Padding="5" Width="580" KeyDown="textBox1_KeyDown"></TextBox>

private void queryText_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.Return)
            {
                //how do I fire the button event from here?
            }
        }

Answer 1

It is possible but rather move your search logic into a method such as DoSearch and call it from both locations (text box and the search button).
