To get keystorkes in WinForms application I would advice you to use the method in WinForms. I am not an expert for WinForms, but you may try to subscribe to KeyDown event in the Form object.

yes i have used the form keydown event, it originally did not work until i changed keypreview to true in the form properties, sometimes you have to step back and look at it again, was a simple fix in the end :)
