Tag "WinForm". What prevents you from just reading the documentation?

You can handle one or more of these events:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keydown.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.previewkeydown.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keyup.aspx[^].

Alternatively, with the same effect, you can override corresponding virtual methods:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.onkeydown.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.onpreviewkeydown.aspx[^],
