Hi All,

I have created a simple form that displays a simple message. But the message
cant seem to be displayed? Any reason why? Below is my code.

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs
e)

{

    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F5)

    {

        MessageBox.Show("It is done");

    }

}

Set the KeyPreview of your form to true.
