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);
}
Now add the following section of code after the public Form() section
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;
}
}
