Hi all,

I'm writing an application for a graphics project using C# and OpenGL library (SharpGL). I want to "listen" to user keyboard input and act accordingly (meaning, if the user presses the "Up" button, I want to move the objects in the app upwards..)

I tried to write the code in Form1_KeyDown event, however I think this is no good since it doesn't catch the keyboard input (I'm kinda new in all this graphics programming, as you can probably see :)

This is the code I have:

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            switch (e.KeyCode)
            {
                case Keys.Up:           // if the "/\" key was pressed
                    lblKeyPressed.Text = "UP";
                    break;
                case Keys.Down:         // if the "\/" key was pressed
                    lblKeyPressed.Text = "DOWN";
                    break;
          ... (more buttons to handle)
                default: break;
            }
        }
