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

I had a problem catching Ctrl + C on a TextBox by KeyDown. I only got Control key when both Control and C were pressed. The solution was using PreviewKeyDown:

private void OnLoad()
{
    textBox.PreviewKeyDown += OnPreviewKeyDown;
    textBox.KeyDown += OnKeyDown;
}

private void OnPreviewKeyDown( object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Control)
    {
        e.IsInputKey = true;
    }
}

private void OnKeyDown( object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.C) {
        textBox.Copy();
    }
}
