Here is an example to capture the enter key.

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey( ref Message msg, Keys keyData )
{
if( keyData == Keys.Enter )
{
MessageBox.Show ( "Enter pressed!" );
return true;
}
return base.ProcessCmd Key( ref msg, keyData );
}
Hope this helps

Similar Examples in VB .NET work correctly. Heres the Source Code: using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

Hi, in my application I want to react to certain keys when a context menu is showing. So I installed a keyboard hook, but now whenever a key is pressed when the menu is showing, the application crashes and sometimes throws a NullReferenceException in system.windows.forms.dll. I assume that the hook somehow messes up the context menu's message loop or something like this. I also had this problem with a mouse hook, so i guess its a...

I have a Windows form application running that contains a button and textbox. An easy thing to do is to monitor the last time a keystroke was executed in the textbox. I can then click the button and it will say: "The last keystroke in the textbox was 10 minutes ago." This is not what I want to do. What I would like to see is a message that says: "The last keystroke in any running application on this computer was 23 minutes ago." My...

I have an application that minimizes itself, and I want it to listen for certain key commands, and when they are pressed, my program can react to them. So far I've gotten my application to react as I intend while the program has focus, but when the application loses focus, the listening stops. I am using VS 2008 beta 2, with .net 3.5.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
