close a form pressing "esc" key? 1

[Fursten]

HI,

I´m trying to do this in my application:

After I open any form, I would like to close it, if the "esc" key is pressed by the user. I can´t put it inside the keypress event because I would need to put it in every contol´s keypress event...

Maybe there is an API to do this... Any ideias?

Thank you!

set the form's KeyPreview property to True then you'll only have to write a keypress event for the form

Thanks JustinE*

I didn't know that one either, saved me a LOT of key checking in all the routines...
