C# VS2008 how to recognize a key was pressed?
Lets say I create a form with nothing on it. If somone presses F1 I want a message to pop up. I went into events and tried a key pressed and key down event like if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Test");
}
but when I press F1 nothing happens. Almost like the form isn't actively looking for the event?? Any thoughts!
Thanks!

I believe that is because F1 is the system help key.
