Perhaps you take first a look how Events from Controls are generally realized.
But, of course, here is a code-sample :

VB

Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.KeyPress
        If Asc(e.KeyChar) = Keys.Enter Then
            ' do something
        End If
End Sub
