Capturing Keypress - No Keycode property available ??

Hi all

Hoping someone can help !!

I am trying to catch F2 - 6 key presses in a winforms application

Code as follows

private void frmMain_KeyPres s(object sender,
System.Windows. Forms.KeyPressE ventArgs e)
{
/*MessageBox.Sho w(e.KeyChar.ToS tring());*/

if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F2 )
MessageBox.Show ("F2");
}

Now e is capturing the keypress fine (the messagebox works fine for
alpha\numeric) , however property wise for e i only have

KeyChar
Handled
and the usual tostring() etc

Thus can not test for keys.F2 as i have no e.Keycode ..(the
if(e>keyCode does not work )

Any ideas anyone ? Sure Im missing something simple but cant see it.

TIA Dave

Appears I DO have the required properties on Keydown and Keyup events
which guess is good enough !!

I want to be able to capture the user pressing Ctrl+S. I know that the IE browser has a key binding for Ctrl+S but is there any way that I can be notified of this key press anyway. I have found tons of examples of capturing keys in IE but *none* of them work for capturing Ctrl+S, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+P,etc or any key combination that has a binding in IE. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can someone help me enhance this code snippet which works only for IE so that it will also work for Firefox? I have been trying all sorts of things and have gotten to where I can capture the keydown and keypress events in Firefox, but then I can't seem to get the key code. I also don't know if the window.event.srcElement.type works with Firefox or if the onkeydown="return false" is valid in Firefox. I have this Javascript at the end of...

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form) then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

I have a tabcontrol where I want to capture the CTRL+C key combination. My tabcontrol has on its tabpages some treeView controls. My intention is to intercept the event of pressing the CTRL+C when one of the controls embedded in the tabControl has the focus. I'm doing this using the KeyDown event. However, when pressing the CTRL+C my computer sounds a beep - as in 'not allowed' beep. The capturing of the keycombination works fine, however,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
