get combination of pressed keys

[Heike]

In my form I have set the KeyPreview property to true. How can I get the combination of keys (e.g. ctrl + shift + s) the user pressed? I thought it must be within the KeyDown event but the way I tried I only got to know one of the keys being pressed.

Hi,

I tried to do something similar a while ago and I don't have the code in front of me now but from memory, I used the key down event and put something similar to this in the event

if e.alt and e.keyvalue = keys.C then
do something.....
endif

I was trying to trap the user pressing ALT & C, but you could use something similar to trap any key sequence.

Its a bit different from the old way of doing it in VB but I think its quite good.

Hope this helps
