    Dialog: Cancel button / esc key (Windows forms)

    Hello, a short question: Do I have to add a cancel button to my form
    dialog for it to be closable by the esc key? Right now I have no
    cancel button in my dialog and I noticed the esc key will not close
    it. First I thought the two textboxes I have in the dialog "consumed"
    the esc key press but I removed them and the dialog still doesn't
    close when the esc key is pressed so that was not it.

      private void Form1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventAr gs e)
      {
      if (e.KeyChar == (char)27)
      Application.Exi t();
      }

          If you are going to follow this technique, Eric (and it seems from your
          other post you're not), I'd recommend handling instead the KeyDown event,
          and comparing against Keys.Escape rather than the above.

          Noting also, of course, that for simply closing a dialog box, calling
          Application.Exi t() is probably overkill. :)

              No, I am not going down that road even though I appreciate people
              trying to help me. But I can't help thinking that that code looks like
              my very simple key handlers I wrote in pure C when doing glut-
              programming. :)
