Hi,

Make Form's KeyPreview=True
and :

[code=vb]
Private Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyC ode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 44 Then
MsgBox "Print Screen Pressed"
End If
End Sub
[/code]

Hi,

MDIForm doesnt support any KeyPress Events.
there is a way around. Place a PictureBox on MDI Form and Set It's property "FillStyle =Transparent". (to show MDI's Picture/colour bckgrnd)

Now In MDI FormLoad event, make size of PictureBox = size of MDI Form (Width and Height). U can write the code in Re-Size Event also.

And write the Key Capture Code for Picrure1_KeyUp event.

Good luck, but I think you'll find the PrintScreen key is not handled like other keys.
