I made a method that detects when a key is pressed, but its not working! Heres my code
void KeyDetect(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.W && firstload == true) { MessageBox.Show("Good, now move to that box over to your left"); firstload = false; } } I also tried to make a keyeventhandler but, it sais "cannot assign to key detect because it is a method group"
public Gwindow() { this.KeyDetect += new KeyEventHandler(KeyDetect); InitializeComponent(); } Use keypress event like this:
private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1 && e.Alt) { //do something } } 
== sign refers to checking equality rather than assignment.1) Go to your form's Properties
2) Look for the "Misc" section and make sure "KeyPreview" is set to "True"
3) Go to your form's Events
4) Look for the "Key" section and double click "KeyDown" to generate a function to handle key down events
Here is some example code:
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("You pressed " + e.KeyCode); if (e.KeyCode == Keys.D0 || e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad0) { //Do Something if the 0 key is pressed (includes Num Pad 0) } } You are looking for this.KeyPress. See How to Handle Keypress Events on MSDN.
Just do
if (Input.GetKeyDown("/* KEYCODE HERE */")) { /* CODE HERE */ }
