Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender  As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown

Select Case e.KeyCode
   Case Keys.F5
       messagebox.Show("F5 was pressed");
End Select

End Sub

Hello mate,

 

For some reason that only works on a blank form. The moment i start putting objects on it, it doesnt work anymore. Almost like the form isnt on top anymore.

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards,

You have to set the forms KeyPreview property to True. Then it will process all keypresses for it's child controls too.

Yes, KeyPreview was a tricky little thing when I first started in vb.net
