During the KeyPress event, it takes any key pressed, but how would i make it to ONLY accept the "w" key for example?Code:private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { }
I tried using a case statement...
but i get an error of "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'".Code:switch (KeyRestrictionBehavior.AllowOnly.Equals("w")) { case "w" : }
Am i doing this correctly? or is there a different way? And how would i correct the problem?
Are you looking to do this as a global or local hotkey?

EventArgs has a member which tells you what the character is. Compare it with your desired character and act accordingly if it is equivalent.
Look up the members of EventArgs in your help file. There is a sample there that demonstrates exactly what you want.
If you wish to do this globally note that your form only receives the keypress event if it happened while the focus was on the form and not on any of it's controls. If a control had the focus the control will receive the key event. You can set KeyPreview to True in the Designer view of your form to ensure that your form receives the keypress events before its controls do.
This is almost akin to the MFC way of overriding WndProc to receive messages prior to them being forwarded onto the window's children (aka controls and other objects). The sad part is I've not found a way to pre-intercept mouse messages.
