Does anyone know why the KeyPress Event doesn’t get fired when the user presses

  • 0

Does anyone know why the KeyPress Event doesn’t get fired when the user presses a down arrow? I have to look for it in the KeyDown event. Is this just something that I am doing wrong?

    According to the documentation of the KeyPress event (assuming you are using WinForms):

    The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events.

    The down arrow key isn’t a character key, so this event shouldn’t be raised for it.
