Hi Juan,

You need to set the KeyPreview property of the Form to True.

I am nort sure, but maybe you want to set the form's 'KeyPreview'
property to 'True'.
Please help me
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown

MsgBox(e.KeyCode)
\\\
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F4 Then
...
End If
///
End Sub

Herfried, I find you most unfunny.

SCNR ?
Please <do> R

The fact that you see any place for humour is just an indication of your insensitivity. I don't want to see more
indications of this Herfried, it has become <so clear> to me by now.

I've asked you before.
Please stop posting to me.
Now I've asked you again.

When will you 'get' this message ?
When will you understand this ?

Verstehst du?

Your silence will be taken as an affirmative answer.

Hi Rick,

Imagine a big pot of porridge. First you turn the heat off. Then you pick it up in your bare hands. No, maybe not. You
let it cool down. It's a big pot - it takes time. Then you can pick it up. But you can't stick your hand in and start
stirring. So you let it cool way down. Then you can use it like putty if you like.

You're right Rick, it bugs me a great deal at the moment. (We should say 'he' but I know what you mean).

It's not exactly hard is it? I ask hin to steer clear. He steers clear. Everything cools - in its time. I ask him to
steer clear. He pokes and prods. The fire flares up again.

Regards,
Fergus

Herfried,

I don't see the sence of this message, but the less you can do with this
kind of messages is put OT before it. I don't believe Juan Carlos Gomez is
intrested in it.

Hi Juan,

I've just seen your reply which went to my email address:

|| Thanks for your help Fergus, but I have already this on
|| KeyPreview=True.
||
|| I have an MDIChild Form, but when I am trying to set up or
|| debug fail, ie. never pass on the SUb Form_KeyDown(....)
|| Do you have some idea about my mistake ?

Are you setting KeyPreview = True on the main Form or on the MDI
chld? To trap keys on a Form, it must be the KeyPreview of <that> Form
which is set. If that's not the case, it might be useful for you to post some of
your code.

Regards,
Fergus
