Testing whether a key on keyboard is actually pressed

[raydona]

I have placed a textbox and other controls on a form. I have the event handler:
private void textbox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
//code to ensure text entered are numbers;
}
How can I test whether a key on the keyboard is actually pressed. If the user presses no key within say 5 seconds I wish to switch focus to another control.
I have tried writing:
if(textbox->Text == "") //then switch focus
in the Tick event of the timer but it does not work.
I would be very grateful for all help.

Try:

private void TextBox1_GotFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{ 
    
    Timer1.Start(); 
    
} 

private void TextBox1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) 
{ 
    
    Timer1.Stop(); 
    Timer1.Start(); 
    
} 

private void Timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{ 
    
    TextBox2.Focus(); 
    Timer1.Stop(); 
    
}

Hope this helps.
