Question

I am trying to reproduce standard instant messenger behavior on TEXT area control: enter works as send button. ctrl+enter as real enter.

Answer 1

If you can stick with Shift+Enter instead of Ctrl+Enter then the solution is trivial. You don't need any special code as Shift+Enter triggers a line break automatically. Just catch plain Enter to do the sending.
