{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
if (e.Control)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else if (e.Shift)

Isn't the following what you're after?

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Insert)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else if (e.Control)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else if (e.Shift)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}

Hi meh,

If you read carefully in MSDN there is written

MSDN:
"The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the
noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events."

Delete and Insert keys are non-character keys.

meh

Sorry I forgot...I am using the KeyDown event i.e.

private void treeView1_KeyDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Insert)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
if (e.Control)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else if (e.Shift)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}

}

In this case it works with me.
If the problem is that you don't see a message box that says the Ctrl is
pressed that is because the Control is a modifier. Change the followng lines

if (e.Control)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}
to

if (e.Control)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.Modifiers);
}

and you'll see the message

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Insert)
{
MessageBox.Show("Pressed " + e.KeyCode);
}

What do you mean?
In the code you posted if you don't trap the insert key you won't see the
message for the Control modifier.

How come it works?
When I test your code I got the message for both Insert and Ctrl. make sure
you trap KeyDown not KeyPress event. Then make sure that the treeview has
the focus. In order to focus the treeview you have to have nodes inserted.

meh

As a follow up....5 hours later.....the reason the Insert and Delete key
were not being trapping was because I had a context menu assigned to the
treeview???

Go figure......
