Quick example here:

; Textfield - ENTER/RETURN
win=CreateWindow("TextField + ENTER/RETURN",270,240,234,104,Desktop(),1)
tf=CreateTextField(20,20,160,20,win,0)

Repeat
	ev=WaitEvent()
;	DebugLog "Event = $"+Right$(Hex$(ev),4) + "   "+EventSource() + "   "+EventData()
	If EventSource()=win ActivateGadget win
	Select ev
		Case $803 ; close [X]
		Exit
		Case $401 ; gadgethit
		If EventSource()=tf ; TEXTFIELD
			If EventData()=13 Notify "ENTER/RETURN pressed in textfield"
		EndIf
	End Select
Forever

End

The RETURN/ENTER detection only works whilst editing in the textfield. Clicking the window area deactivates the textfield and likewise the RETURN/ENTER key detection.
