This code was something I used to monitor the keys that where press while a user would be entering text into a text box in my application. I monitored and watch for the user to hit the "Enter" key and then perform some task. Handy code for chat applications.

// Place the following code into the

// #region Windows Form Designer generated code

this.txtEnter.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(txtEnter_KeyDown);

// Place the following function where ever the 

// #region Windows Form Designer generated code

// is located or you can move it elsewhere if you like, 

// but you will then need to make it public.

private void txtEnter_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)

            {

                // Your code here.

            }

        }
