I am using C# windows Application
I am checking which key, user have pressed down by keyboard.
I have checked for all keys but its not working in case of printScreen
private void comboBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode.ToString());
}
So how to detect PrintScreen Key
You can use KeyUp, It captures PrintScreen key.
The print-screen key is trapped by the OS before it is sent to applications. To detect such keys, you need to use a keyboard hook. You may be interested in this article: Low-level Windows API hooks from C# to stop unwanted keystrokes
You can use
e.Key == Key.Snapshot
This will work on KeyUp event
If the KeyUp
event still does not work try modifying the forms KeyPreview
property to true
, then test the the KeyUp event again.
