Answer 1

in this case handle the enter key in the pretranslate() method of your db.

Answer 2

Implement the OnOK() and/or the OnCancel() methods and don't call the base methods there. (those are virtual methods which you can simply overload).

Just because you removed the buttons doesn't mean you don't have to handle the events! The OnOK() is triggered by the Enter key, and OnCancel() by the Escape key for dialogs.
