[Pirate]

OK , What is the ascii code of vbKeyDown then ?

[Athley]

Didn't try this but..... its from the KeyUp event args...

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then

[Pirate]

no way . aren't all arrow keys have events ? I mean when I press left arrow then something would happen .anyone can help plz ?

This is how I do it with C#

private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.KeyCode.ToString() == "Down")
	{
		// Go to the control down from this one.
		textBox2.Focus();
		return;
	}
	if(e.KeyCode.ToString() == "Up")
	{
		// Go to the control up from this one.
		someControlOnTop.Focus();
		return;
	}
}

exactly what I needed . Thanks hellswraith.

Just out of curiousity, why do you have to use tostring?

apparently 'If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then' didn't work according to Pirate but 'If e.KeyCode.ToString = "Up" Then' did?

I have still not tried this, but this puzzles me.....

[Pirate]

your way it perfect too Athley. When I was trying that in the KeyPress not in the KeyUp . I am using this anyways:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp........................
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
            TextBox2.Focus()
        End If
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
            TextBox3.Focus()
        End If
end sub

I think no need to convert that to string Unless C# only accepts that way , I guess no .

Aha, well I got a little confused there. Now I can sleep tonight.
