Examples

The following code example shows how to use the Modifiers property to determine which modifier keys were pressed along with the primary key.

   // This example demonstrates how to use the KeyDown event with the Help class to display
   // pop-up style help to the user of the application. The example filters for all variations
   // of pressing the F1 key with a modifier key by using the KeyEventArgs properties passed
   // to the event handling method.
   // When the user presses any variation of F1 that includes any keyboard modifier, the Help
   // class displays a pop-up window, similar to a ToolTip, near the control. If the user presses
   // ALT + F2, a different Help pop-up is displayed with additional information. This example assumes
   // that a tTextBox control, named textBox1, has been added to the form and its KeyDown
   // event has been contected to this event handling method.
private:
   void textBox1_KeyDown( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. If it is, display Help.
      if ( e->KeyCode == Keys::F1 && (e->Alt || e->Control || e->Shift) )
      {
         
         // Display a pop-up Help topic to assist the user.
         Help::ShowPopup( textBox1, "Enter your name.", Point(textBox1->Bottom,textBox1->Right) );
      }
      else
      if ( e->KeyCode == Keys::F2 && e->Modifiers == Keys::Alt )
      {
         // Display a pop-up Help topic to provide additional assistance to the user.
         Help::ShowPopup( textBox1, "Enter your first name followed by your last name. Middle name is optional.",
            Point(textBox1->Top,this->textBox1->Left) );
      }
   }
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. If it is, display Help.
    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F1 && (e.Alt || e.Control || e.Shift))
    {
        // Display a pop-up Help topic to assist the user.
        Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your name.", new Point(textBox1.Bottom, textBox1.Right));
    }
    else if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F2 && e.Modifiers == Keys.Alt)
    {
        // Display a pop-up Help topic to provide additional assistance to the user.
        Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your first name followed by your last name. Middle name is optional.",
            new Point(textBox1.Top, this.textBox1.Left));
    }
}
Private Sub textBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox1.KeyDown
    ' Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. If it is, display Help.
    If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 AndAlso (e.Alt OrElse e.Control OrElse e.Shift) Then
        ' Display a pop-up Help topic to assist the user.
        Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your name.", New Point(textBox1.Bottom, textBox1.Right))
    ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.F2 AndAlso e.Modifiers = Keys.Alt Then
        ' Display a pop-up Help topic to provide additional assistance to the user.
        Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your first name followed by your last name. Middle name is optional.", _
             New Point(textBox1.Top, Me.textBox1.Left))
    End If
