Hello Jess,

Maybe this code sample will help you:

    static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Form1 frm = new Form1();
            frm.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(new KeyPressCode().keypressEvent);
            Application.Run(frm);
        }
    }

    public class KeyPressCode
    {
        public void keypressEvent(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Escape)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Key ESCAPE pressed.");
            }
        }
    }

I'm assigning a KeyPres event to the mainform at startup and check if the key ESCAPE is presed.

HTH

>I assume you are familiar with VFP's ON KEY LABEL wherein you can have a method or function and have it fired once the KEY that was assigned to do the task is pressed. The KeyPress event of a control I think is very limited. What if I want F2 function key to do something once pressed anywhere in the application? Can we do it in .NET?
