How to add keyboard event to a menuitem?

[Michael]

Hi,
There is a menuitem in my windows application called Fill Data.
If user click this menu, one of the textbox will be filled in some
value.
Now I hope it work like this,
When user clicks this menu, at the same time, he presses Ctrl key, all
the textboxes will be filled in with some values.
How can I do that? Seems there is no keypress event for a menuitem？
Thanks!

No but you can test the keyboard state when the item is
clicked. Something like this for example

If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Control Then
Me.Text = "CONTROL+CLICK"
Else
Me.Text = "CLICK"
End If
