Try this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...temwindowsformscontrolclassonkeydowntopic.asp
The KeyEventArgs event also contains the properties Alt, Shift and Control
which you can check for trure/false.

Here's an example from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...fsystemwindowsformskeyeventargsclasstopic.asp

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
// Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. If it is, display
Help.
if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F1 && (e.Alt || e.Control || e.Shift))
{
// Display a pop-up Help topic to assist the user.
Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your name.", new
Point(textBox1.Bottom, textBox1.Right));
}
else if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F2 && e.Modifiers == Keys.Alt)
{
// Display a pop-up Help topic to provide additional assistance to
the user.
Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your first name followed by your
last name. Middle name is optional.",
new Point(textBox1.Top, this.textBox1.Left));
}
}
