The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events.
Use the KeyChar property to sample keystrokes at run time and to consume or modify a subset of common keystrokes.
To handle keyboard events only at the form level and not enable controls to receive keyboard events, set the Handled property in the form's KeyPress event-handling method to true.

They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
