KeyUp doesn't work on Form

bmains · October 28th, 2003, 09:31 AM

Hello,

I can't get a KeyUp event to trigger on a form. It's defined as:

Code:

Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyUp

End Sub

I can't get it to trigger (have a breakpoint on it) when I press a key with the form active. There is no MDI parent for this form yet (does that matter?). Any ideas? I have a datagrid on the form, and the keyup event works for that...

Thanks,

Brian Mains

Hi Brian

Have you set the keypreview property for the form, key up, key down etc works for controls without this property being set but the form must have key preview set to true before it will recognise any key events.
