Detecting Control/Alt Keys

[Fat_N_Furry]

Can someone tell me why this code doesn't work for Control/Alt keys, and another way to detect them? If it's easier, you could just explain how to assign Control/Alt shortcuts (like Control-S in Word is save) becuase that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

Dim KeyAscii As String = Chr(e.KeyCode)

Thanks in advance,
Furry

Try this:

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        Dim keyVal As Char = Convert.ToChar(e.KeyCode)
        If e.Control And keyVal = "S" Then
            MessageBox.Show("Ctrl + S Pressed!")
        End If
    End Sub

this one would also work, I think

if e.keyData = (keys.shift or keys.s) then 'shift + s pressed

You can try this too

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If (Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Control) = Keys.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.S Then
            MessageBox.Show("Pressed Control S")
        End If
End Sub

Dang! We have an abundance of help around here! Thanks, guys! I got it twice - or was that three times?
