If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then 'doesn't work

[steve1rm]

Hello,

I have the code below in a combo boxes keyup event. I want to do something then the user presses the tab key. But it does not work. I have tried this with other key i.e. enter, shift, letter, and numbers. But does not work when the user presses the tab key.

Does anyone know why this is.

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
            'Do something then the user press the tab key
 End If

Thanks,

Steve

From MSDN

Certain keys, such as the TAB, RETURN, ESCAPE, and arrow keys are handled by controls automatically. To have these keys raise the KeyUp event, you must override the IsInputKey method in each control on your form. The code for the override of IsInputKey would need to determine if one of the special keys is pressed and return a value of true.

Hope this helps.
