What, specifically, is the issue? If it is detecting the f1 key, you can do that with the KeyDown or KeyUp event. You can do it either for a specific control, or you can set the form's KeyPreview property to true, and handle the KeyDown or KeyUp event for the form, which will catch all keyboard input.

 

If the problem is communicating data between forms, then you should probably add some properties or functions to pass the data from one form to the other. Details can be found in the tutor's corner, here.

 

If the problem is something else, you will need to be more specific.
