How do you detect simultaneous keypresses such as “Ctrl + T” in VB.NET?

Question

I am trying to detect the keys \"Control\" and \"t\" being pressed simultaneously in VB.NET. The code I have so far is as follows:

Private Sub frmTimingP2P_K

I had the same problem, but for me to get this to work I had to set the forms KeyPreview property to true. In Visual studio you can change this in the Forms [Design] Property window or changing the property on load.

Private Sub frmTimingP2P_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _ 
                               System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    Me.KeyPreview = True

End Sub

then use by using:

Private Sub frmTimingP2P_KeyDown(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As _ 
                        System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown


        If (e.KeyCode = Keys.T AndAlso e.Modifiers = Keys.Control) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Ctrl + T")
        End If

End Sub

or other program logic as provided in the answers above.
