e.Keydown help

[Biohazard]

    Private Sub InitialTest_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
        'Show Admin Settings when Ctl + Alt + A is pressed

        If e.Control And e.KeyValue = A Then

            About.Show()
        End If
    End Sub

Is there something I am doing wrong or does e.keydown only support 1 key at a time.

I have also tried

    Private Sub InitialTest_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
        'Show Admin Settings when Ctl  + A is pressed

        If e.KeyValue = Keys.Control And Keys.Up Then

            About.Show()
        End If
    End Sub

Just Grinds my gears!! I want about to show When the user presses Control Alt A, or just Control A but e.Keydown only supports A GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Firstly, dont use KeyDown, use KeyUp. Using KeyDown may result in repeated processing.

    Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp
        If e.Control AndAlso e.Alt AndAlso e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then
            MessageBox.Show("CTRL-ALT-A")
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks for the tip but this doesn't work either.

Have you enabled the forms keyboard events? Form.KeyPreview Property (System.Windows.Forms)

Thanks John yet again, I will try it later tonight or early tomorrow to see if it works.
