Escape Key

[YL99]

Hi,

When pressing the EscapeKey I want it to execute the Cancel button Click Event. I have set the KeyPreview for the form to true and catch the Escape Key in the Form_KeyPress Event.

But doesn't seem to call the Cancel button procedure

Your help will be much appreciated.

Set the Cancel buttons Cancel property to Ture

Hi

I'm assuming that you have a cancel button on the form... (unless I misunderstand you)

set that button's "cancel" property to true. this will cause the buttons click event to fire when escape is pressed.

Regards
Steve

Hi,
Is there an event that u can use to check if the EscapeKey is pressed.

I've tried the form_Keypress but doesn't execute this event, instead it perform the cancel button procedure

try using keyup or keydown events with a breakpoint to see the argument value. That's how I do my hotkeys. I vaguely remember some quirky things about keypress and certain keys.
