Sensing a keyboard press in a forms app?

Question

In a windows form, I have a button. When that button is pressed, I want it to look for keyboard presses. When the spacebar is pressed 10 times, I want the button to do something. Is this at all possible?

I guess that you have only one button and one label in the form so that button1 is focused by default when Form1 loads. You set button1.Enable = false, Form1.LostFocus so that keyevents do not work.
Please try to use the following code it works well
public partial class Form1 : Form
int i = 0;
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
this.KeyPreview = true;
this.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(Form1_KeyPress);
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
button1.Enabled = false;
this.Focus();
private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Space)
i += 1;
label1.Text = "Worked !";
if (i == 10)
button1.Enabled = true;
Hope above help !
