get pressed arrow keys

[puma]

In a form I tried to capture the keys pressed by setting keypreview to true and then handling the proper events. Neither KeyUp, KeyDown nor KeyPress seem to capture the arrow keys. Anybody knows how to do that?

Just tried it here - created a new project, set its keypreview to true and added this code

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
   If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
       MessageBox.Show("Right")
   End If
End Sub

worked just fine.

Hope this helps!
