keypreview - how to set

In vb.net, if I want to detect a keypress, I must first set keypreview to true on the form. In VB6, it was pretty simple, but in vb.net, I can't find where keypreview gets set. How do I do it?

that is superbly easy, im sorry that is way to easy, have you tried typing in "keypreview" ? or maybe its my version of .net what are you using, im using VB 2008, you could just type in Me.KeyPreview = true in the form load event sub ?
