Disabling a particular key press in .net

Question

i want to disable a particular key press in .net(both vb.net & c#.net). someone plz help!!!

Answer 1

You can disable a key globally (for all applications) by writing a Global Key Hook, or just within your application using a Local Key Hook.

Once you have hooked the incoming keys, you can ignore particular ones and not pass them on to windows / to the application.

Answer 2

If you want to disable for your own application only, You can also use IMessageFilter. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.addmessagefilter.aspx
