Hi

you can also use key preview of form to catch key code when any control is active. Enable Previewkeydown property and implement:

private void Form1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
        {

        }

you have to enable keyPreview to True and on the keydown event of the form you should write that on what keycode it should raise this event.

ex...

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F8)
{
write the code...
}

Also, if you include an '&' in the buttons text property, the following letter will become an accelerator and respond to Alt+Key combinations.
eg; if you create a button with the text property set to "Re&Bind Data", the buttons text will appear as "ReBind Data" and if you press Alt + B it will perform a button click.
