Form keyDown not working?

Question

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
    If e.Control Then
        MessageBox.Show("aaaa")
    End If
End Sub

As you can see, my form will check for when the control key is pressed down. But it doesn't work. Why?

Answer 1

I am not near a computer now so I can't test this, but when I have wanted to get key events on a form before, I would set Form1.KeyPreview to True (or something similar).
