Escape button to close Windows Forms form in C#

Question

I have tried the following:

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if ((Keys) e.KeyValue == Keys.Escape)
               


        

Answer 1

You need add this to event "KeyUp".

    private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
        {
            this.Close();
        }
    }
