How do I link code to arrow keys in VB.NET?

[meandmymachine]

Hello there

I'm trying to write code which responds to the users manipulation of 2 of the arrow keys (you know the ones just under the delete, end and page down keys). The code below compiles okay but it doesn't do anything. I just was just wondering how to modify it.
All contributions gratefully accepted.

Heres the code:

Dim vbKeyRight As Integer
Dim vbKeyLeft As Integer

Private Sub KeyPress1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyRight Then
MsgBox("Right Key Pressed!")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub KeyPress2_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyLeft Then
MsgBox("Left Key Pressed!")
End If
End Sub

Simply change it to this :

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e 
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
            MsgBox("Right Key Pressed!")
        End If
 End Sub
 
Private Sub TextBox2_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e 
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox2.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then
            MsgBox("Left Key Pressed!")
        End If
    End Sub

I don't know why you declared two variables ? It could work if you just assigned them the ascii codes for left & right keys .
