Detecting arrows keys in winforms
23,346
Ok so after some research i found out the simplest way to handle arrow key events is to override the ProcessCmdKey method.
protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
if(keyData == Keys.Left)
{
MessageBox.Show("You pressed Left arrow key");
return true;
}
return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}
Hope this helps.

I am able to detect alpha-numeric keys. However i am not able to detect arrow keys.
Any help would be appreciated in this regard.
