How do you watch for a user pressing a cursor key?

check for the KeyCode (as in the code below) on the relevant control. The cursor keys will give keycodes of 37,38,39 and 40. The shift value is 0, 1 if [tt]shift[/tt] is pressed and 2 if [tt]ctrl[/tt] is pressed
[tt]Private Sub Text2_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
MsgBox KeyCode & " --- " & Shift
End Sub[/tt]
my application is an MDI environment and i recall having to use the k[tt]eypreview = True[/tt] in order to check for function keys etc. at a higher level so this may be worth having a look at too?
cheers
