Hello
I want to know how to use arrow keys instead of tab key.
I used this code but it didn't work :

VB

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
      If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
          ProcessTabKey(True)
          e.Handled = True
      ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
          ProcessTabKey(False)
          e.Handled = True
      End If
  End Sub

So ,what's the problem?
Thank in advance..

Probably, you have controls which can take input from the keyboard - if you do they they get the event instead of the form.
You can force the form to get such events by setting the Form.KeyPreview to true, but I would think hard before changing fundamental behaviour like that - if users are not used to it, then you can confuse them and that can create a bad impression of your software.
