Hi Jacob,
I'm not understanding. What do you want to happen when you use on key down?
Maybe you really want to use the on change event. That happens in a text box
every time you type and delete stuff. You could check for the needed strings in
the value properties and react to them with the on change event.

Subject: [program-l] Binding keydown event to dynamically generated textbox
Ok, next question.
If I dynamically create and place textbox controls on my form, within a tab
control, they don't seem able to capture the keydown event, which the combo
boxes created in the similar routine are fine with?
If I drop a standard textbox on a windows form during design, I can then quite
easily capture it's keydown event, but for some reason this doesn't seem to
want to work on my runtime generated textboxes, but I want to be able to also
catch the necessary keystrokes to be able to 'trash' the currently focused
textbox, using something like a key combo of Alt + T, but I just hear the
invalid sound when I hit that keystroke in there?
I am using the same basic code to link their events to my subroutine:
ctlTB.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.textbox_KeyDown);
Stay well
