Keyboard Input in Visual C
From WLCS
- Select the Form and go to its Properties
- Change the KeyPreview property to True
- Add the following line of code to the public Form1() section:
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Form1_KeyDown);
so it should look something like this:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Form1_KeyDown);
}
- Add the following section of code
<sounrce lang="csharp">
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { switch (e.KeyCode) { case Keys.Left: //add code that you want to run when the Left key is hit break;
case Keys.Right: //add code that you want to run when the Right key is hit break;
case Keys.Up: //add code that you want to run when the Up key is hit break;
case Keys.Down: //add code that you want to run when the Down key is hit break;
default: return; } }
