VB.net listbox. make all searches occur
I have an identical action that needs to occur as in ID: 41772683 but this one uses listboxes. I have made the search boxes at the top populate according to whats typed in the CW column (using the search option bottom right) but I cannot see how to emulate the enter keypress across the other columns programatically.
here is the first columns key up within this the search occurs
Each of the others are within their own key up event.

Dim tb = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)

You could call the OnKeyUpXXX methods and pass the arguments you want.
