Goal : Create a program to get the keys entered into the form
Programming Language : Visual Basic.NET 2008 SP1
Step 1
The first thing that we must do to reach our goal is create a new project. This can be done by clicking File > New Project or by pressing Control and N on your keyboard.
Step 2
Name the project "Capturing Keys in VB.NET" or anything else that you want.
Step 3
Customize the form in anyway that you want.
Step 4
Add two labels and name them "lblKeyCode" and "lblKeyValue".
Step 5
Select the form, enter the list of handlers and double-click the "KeyDown" handler.
Step 6
In the "KeyDown" handler, you must put the following code:
Explanation for Step 6 The code "lblKeyCode.Text = e.KeyCode.ToString" will set the first label to the internal key name. (eg. "A" or "Delete")
The code "lblKeyValue.text = e.KeyValue.ToString" will set the second label to the value of the key (eg. "19" or "49")
Step 7
Press the debug button and press any key on your keyboard
The value of the labels should change, depending on which key you press
