    Question Newbie Q: Getting keystrokes without the user hitting the Enter Button

    Anybody know how I can get input (char particularly), without the user having to hit the Enter key? I kinda just want to get his key strokes.

    I thought I'd find the answers on the FAQ, but I guess its not there!? If anybody could clue me in on this I would greatly appriciate it!

    Thanks!

    Add an event of your own to the controls keydown eventhandler.

    If you use Visual Studio, right click on the control and select properties, click the lightning symbol for a list of available events, then doubleclick on the keydown event. It will create an event-handler for you automatically.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
