Question

I’m trying the get the inputted values from the user and save it on a char variable, but the problem is that nothing occurs, and I think the problem is with the Form Focus, this is the code, and when I run it no errors occurs, but also nothing happen. What I did wrong?

        char keyPressed;

        public FrmZigndSC()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.Focus();
        }

        private void FrmZigndSC_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            keyPressed = e.KeyChar;

            LblResult.Text += Convert.ToString(keyPressed);
        }

You can try with this code – Based on KeyPressEventHandler

public FrmZigndSC()
{
       InitializeComponent();
       this.Focus();

       //Subscribe to event
       this.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(FrmZigndSC_KeyPress);
}


private void FrmZigndSC_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
        keyPressed = e.KeyChar;
        LblResult.Text += Convert.ToString(keyPressed);


        // Indicate the event is handled.
        e.Handled = true;
}
