Finding Keycodes

Kasun Lee

Hi

Like the code for Left control key is "LControlKey", what's the code for "@" sign? Is there a place to find this information online? And what's actually call these codes? Not keycodes, they are numbers, right?

Thanks!

There is nothing like @ keycode directly. This is invoked when shift key is pressed. You can detect the keycode of D2 with shift modifiers
private void yourControl_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
   if((e.KeyCode == Keys.D2) && e.Shift)
   {
      // User pressed '@' ...
   }
}
