direction

Tony,
Does your form have buttons?

You can set the CancelButton property of the form to the Button control that
represents close form. Then when the user presses Esc key that button will
be 'clicked'.

Otherwise you will need to handle the KeyPressed or KeyDown event and check
for the Esc key.

Hope this helps
Jay

Click to expand...

Add a button, set its 'DialogResult' property and set the form's
'CancelButton' property to the button.
