How to capture a TAB key press in a Key Press Event

Use an if to see if it was the tab key

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
        'run you code
    End If

Select allOpen in new window

But its the Key Press Event that is not picking the Keypress even up.

What control are you using the event on?

Its a Key Press Even Args

Are you trying to detect it in a text box, or on the form, or somewhere else?

I have a textbox on the form, however any other key I press is detected (BACKSpae,Enter,Shift, and letter or numerical keys) just not the TAB key.

Use the PreviewKeyDown event, and add in if block that I have in the example below.  The PreviewKeyDown will capture the tab key and the isinputKey = true will treat is like a normal key press an not like the normal function of tab in a form.  Once that event fires it will fire the keypress event next.  Hope this helps.

    Private Sub TextBox1_PreviewKeyDown(sender As Object, e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles txtQty1.PreviewKeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
            e.IsInputKey = True
        End If
    End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

The problem with that is the textbox is created dynamically on the form. Any ideas from that how I can use the PreviewKeyDown event?

How did you accomplish this before with the keypress event?  You stated in previous comments that the keypress event was picking up other keys for the text box?
