Keys.PageDown.tostring = Next?

[false74]

I have a Keys variable that needs to be returned as a string. However When I try Keys.Pagedown.toString it returns "Next" and NOT "PageDown"

I know that Next shares the PageDown key so that might be the issue.
The interesting thing is Keys.PageUp.toString returns "PageUp" and NOT prior (the other key that is shared with it).

I have also tried using the keycode (34) instead of the enum, same result, obviously.

Is there a fix for this?

I thought that I might have had a solution but it behaves in the exact opposite way.

MessageBox.Show(Keys.PageUp.ToString())
MessageBox.Show(Keys.PageDown.ToString())

MessageBox.Show([Enum].GetName(GetType(Keys), Keys.PageUp))
MessageBox.Show([Enum].GetName(GetType(Keys), Keys.PageDown))

I guess that it has to do with the order in which the values are declared and, frankly, I can't think of a way around it.

I remember running into this problem years ago.

Here's a thread explaining what's happening: String representation of Keys enum

The only fix I came up with was checking for that particular key and hard coding PageDown as the return value.
