Hey. I'm having a problem. In a form's constructor, I have:

this.KeyDown+=new KeyEventHandler(frmGScreen_KeyDown)

but the event handler does not invoke at all when I press a key on the keyboard. I know this because i have the code "txtOutput.Text="Event handler entered" as the first line of the handler, and nothing happens, and besides, the actions coded for specific keys do not execute.

I do have the form's KeyPreview property set to true. So this one truly stumps me. I just don't get it...

try:

this.KeyPress+=new KeyEventHandler(frmGScreen_KeyDown)

If it doesnt work, show me the rest of the program; as the error is not in that line.
