Catching Ctrl + C in a textbox

Question

Despite me working with C# (Windows Forms) for years, I\'m having a brain fail moment, and can\'t for the life of me figure out how to catch a user typing Ctrl +

Answer 1

Key events occur in the following order:

1. KeyDown
2. KeyPress
3. KeyUp

The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events. Control is a noncharacter key.

You can check with this line of code: if (e.KeyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.C))
