Keydown with buttons useage

[Eric51]

Hi

I am trying to use the keydown/keyup events with buttons in the same project and it not working properly. I have 4 red boxes and when I press an arrow key the box should change to green according to which arrow key it corrosponds to. I have this part working fine, however only when there is nothing else in the project. When I add in say 3 buttons, Button1, Button2, Button3 and try runing the program instead of the correct red box changing to green, button outline just moves between buttons 1,2 and 3. I have tried turning tabstop off for the three buttons but that didnt work. Any suggestions on how to read the keydown/keyup while still having buttions that can be pressed with a mouse??

Thanks for your help.

I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work.

Can you show us what code you have at the moment.

Well I thought it solved my problem, turns out I still cannot detect when the arrow keys are up or down? Any suggestions to this?

Read my post in that topic, just use labels. Same as buttons but they don't hog the focus, and they don't look like buttons...
