"yes set shortcut key for any task by user(for example user can set SHIFT + S for any task in application);"

This implies that you want a user to open a form or press a button or open a file or perform any other function / procedure you have made available to your users programatically.

Trapping keys pressed by the user is simple enough, allowing a user to set which keys will do ANY task in your application is not so simple and would require you to test for every possible combination of keys pressed by the user in every part of your application where a user is able to set which keys to press to perform that function.

On this occasion, I would go with Sam and say I am not sure of what you are trying to do.

I am not sure what it is that you are trying to do. Are you trying to provide a way for your users to customize what keys to be used as command keys or accelerator keys? Or are you trying to determine when a specified key combination has been typed? Or are you trying to provide acceleartor keys for you application?

See How to trap keystrokes in controls by using Visual C# for a documented way to do what I think your code that you posted is doing.

Hello Kumar,thank you alot
andother Solution is :

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Keys _firstKey = new Keys();
        Keys _secondKey = new Keys();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void submitShortcut_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            switch (comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString())
            {
                case "ALT":
                    _firstKey = Keys.Alt;
                    break;
                case "CTRL" :
                    _firstKey = Keys.ControlKey;
                    break;
                case "SHIFT" :
                    _firstKey = Keys.Shift;
                    break;
                default :
                    _firstKey = Keys.ControlKey;
                    break;
            }

        }

        private void textBox_secondKey_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (char.IsLetter(e.KeyCode.ToString (),0))
            _secondKey = e.KeyCode;
        }

        private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Modifiers == _firstKey && e.KeyCode == _secondKey)
                testButton_Click((object)testButton, (EventArgs)e);

        }

        private void testButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("testButton Clicked");
        }
