How to use Up/Dn cursor keys (partially working)

[jj2]

I'm very new to vb.NET.

I have Label1, Label3 and Button1 on Form1. I want to use the cursor Up/Dn keys to control whether a counter counts up or counts down.

The only code I found (that I had any clue about at all) checked the alpha keys but not the cursor Up/Dn keys. My code below uses the letters a and s for the up/dn functionality.

The first Sub, changing the increment value Incr, works OK if the Button control is removed from the form but does nothing when the button is on the form -- NO Errors generated.

Here's my code:

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim Incr As Integer

Private Sub aKeyPressHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress
'-Label1, Label3 and Button1 on Form1
'-This Sub works OK if Button1 is removed from Form1 but DOES NOTHING
'-if Button1 is on Form1.

'Dim Incr As Integer (Correction - this is commented out - using the Global Dim)
'Toggle Increment -- a: Incr positive, s: Incr negative
If e.KeyChar = "a" Then Incr = 1
If e.KeyChar = "s" Then Incr = -1
If (e.KeyChar = "a" Or e.KeyChar = "s") Then Label3.Text = Label3.Text & e.KeyChar & " = " & Str(Incr)
'Button1.PerformClick()
End Sub

'Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e1 As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Dim count As Integer
' count = count + Incr
' Label1.Text = Str$(count)
'End Sub

End Class

I want the counter to count ONLY when the Up or Dn cursor key is held down. I was going to use the Button1.PerformClick event to control the counter as shown by the Button1_Click code.

I understand examples much better than a verbal description.

Also, how do I neatly imbed my code on the page as I've seen done on other posts?

Thanks for any help. jj2
