How to get keyboard key pressed c#

Question

I'm trying to get the key pressed on the keyboard (not a specific), i watched somes "solutions" everywhere and i found nothing working . Conditions: Need anchoring a panel on the form.

• C# Compare the Key Pressed on the Keyboard

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/winforms/input-keyboard/how-to-handle-forms?view=netdesktop-6.0

• This worked on a Console, i want the same without cancelling it! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/System.Console.CancelKeyPress?view=net-6.0

   private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { KeysConverter convertor = new KeysConverter(); string keyPressed = convertor.ConvertToString(e.KeyChar); if (keyPressed == "t") { Console.WriteLine("THIS IS T"); } }

Answer 1

try this in your Form1.cs

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
        {
            if (keyData == Keys.T)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("THIS IS T");
            }
            return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
        }

Answer 2

enter code here as I understood, you put the focus on a button B and defined that if the A key is pressed, the code related to the A button will be executed. protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message message, Keys KeyData) use code

     protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message message, Keys KeyData)
     {
         switch (KeyData)
         {
             case Keys. E:
                 MessageBox.Show("Hello");
                 break;
         }
         return true;
     }
