have you tried using the KeyDown eventhandler an example would be private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (Keys.F12.ToString() == e.KeyCode.ToString()) { MessageBox.Show("F12 Key Pressed"); } else { MessageBox.Show("F12 Key was not Pressed"); } }

You might wanna enable KeyPreview on your container Form to in addition to method suggested by the other poster. xacc.ide-0.1.1 released! :) Download and screenshots
