Difference between the KeyDown Event, KeyPress Event and KeyUp Event in Visual Studio

Question

Can anyone tell me the difference between the KeyDown event, the KeyPress event and the KeyUp event? I checked the msdn site and it do

Answer 1

• KeyDown: happens when the person presses a key (when the keyboard first detects a finger on a key, this happens when the key is pressed down).

• KeyPress: happens when a key is pressed and then released.

• KeyUp: happens when the key is released

You are right that all of these events occur when a key is pressed and then released, in the order I described above.
