Answer 1

Sorry, you can use the KeyCode :

    private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode != Keys.LWin && e.KeyCode != Keys.RWin)
            MessageBox.Show("Hello " +  e.KeyData.ToString());
    }

Answer 2

I'm fairly sure that they don't have ascii codes, but they do have key codes: VK_LWIN and VK_RWIN for the left and right one.

So for example in Control.KeyDown you'll get a KeyEventArgs that has a KeyCode property which you can compare with Keys.LWin or Keys.RWin.

Answer 3

Actually keys like the Windows key don't have an ASCII value. Only keys that are 'printable' have an ASCII value. To detect keys like the Windows key you have to use either the KeyDown or KeyUp events and use the KeyCode to detect which key was pressed.KeyCode for this key is 93.

Ex:-

Private Sub txt_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode = 93 Then msgbox "93" End If End Sub

Answer 4

There isn't an Ascii-Code because the WinKey is not printable. However you can use the virtual key code of these keys as described in the msdn.
