vb.net key combination - vb.net

Question

I'm trying to capture two key presses in my VB.net application, for this example CTRL + B, the code below doesn't work but it does for single keys. I have tried setting keypreview as true but this has no effect.
Private Sub main_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles mybase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.B Then
MsgBox("CTRL + B Pressed !")
End If
End Sub
End Class
Thanks

Answer 1

The Control key is a Modifier key. This code tests for Ctrl + B
e.KeyCode = Keys.B AndAlso e.Modifiers = Keys.Control
The key-code is B, but the modifier is Ctrl.
Your code snippet, updated:
Private Sub main_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles mybase.KeyDown
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.B AndAlso e.Modifiers = Keys.Control) Then
MsgBox("CTRL + B Pressed !")
End If
End Sub

Answer 2

You need to add controlkey also after modifier to make it work properly.
Private Sub main_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles mybase.KeyDown
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.B AndAlso e.Modifiers.ControlKey = Keys.Control) Then
MsgBox("CTRL + B Pressed !")
End If
End Sub

If you look at the documentation for KeyEventArgs, you'll note that the class exposes properties for ALT, CTRL and Modifiers which allow you to determine whether these keys were pressed in addition to the main symbol key you're interested in.
Private Sub main_KeyDown(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
Handles mybase.KeyDown
If e.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.B Then
MsgBox("CTRL + B Pressed !")
End If
End Sub

You can use this:
If e.Control = True And e.KeyCode = Keys.B Then
'Do Something...
End If
