Captureing KeyDown event in custom text box control

[PePe]

Can someone help with the correct syntax for overriding the Keydown event of a textbox control? I'm having a heck of time getting it to compile. (Yup,..it's friday.) Thanks in advance.

public class cTextBox: System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

{

public cTextBox()

{

base.KeyDown += new System.EventHandler(OnKeyDown);

 

}

 

protected override void OnKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)

{

//trap escape key here.

}

}

Here's the correct syntax...

 

public class cTextBox: System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

{

public cTextBox()

{

 

}

 

protected override void OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)

{

//trap escape key here.

MessageBox.Show("hello");

}

 

 

}
