Place a mainmenu component to your form, add some items and assign the
function keys as shortcuts. Then you can add the code to the menuitems'
'Click' event handlers.

Can it be done using sendKeys? If yes then how should I go about it?

Why do you want to use 'SendKeys'? What exactly do you want to archieve?

Hi,
I have four buttons on my form. I want to assign F1 to F4 short
cut keys to these buttons. I have set keypreview property of the form as
true. I want the respective button to be clicked whenever i press any of
these short cut keys appropriate to the button.

Call the button's 'PerformClick' method to raise its 'Click' event if the
button is enabled and visible.
