No. Windows applications are message driven. Whenever a key is pressed,
your application gets a message. You can write a procedure reacting to the
message. The procedure is called an event handler.

Hi Wayne,

You can have a look at the events for keyDown, keyUp, KeyPress

I hope this helps?

Are you talking about reading a key in a console application?

In .NET 2.0 there will be a 'Console.ReadKey' method, according to:
