Key Down Problem

For some strange reason i am having problems with the following code:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown

        Select Case e.KeyCode

            Case Keys.Right

                Call CurrentBlock.Right()

            Case Keys.Left

                Call CurrentBlock.Left()

            Case Keys.Up

                Call CurrentBlock.Rotate()

            Case Keys.Down

                Call CurrentBlock.Down()

            Case Else

                Exit Sub

        End Select

    End Sub

---

Its not executing what it should be when the keys are presses. Ive put a breakpoint on it and its not even firing at all when they keys are pressed but i can work out why this is.

Appreciate any ideas.

try setting form .keypreview to true

Nope still no luck, Cheers anyways

Do you have buttons on your form? They will take the focus and block Form Keypresses.

Ye i have one button. How do i solve this problem if it is the button?

I have also now added a handler for the buttons key down event however this works for most keys but still not the arrow keys.

I spose this will do but if anyone knows a way of getting the arrow keys to work that would be great.

I answered this a few days ago when it was asked by another member. Here is that thread.
