}C# KeyDown problem

I can't get KeyDown method to work. I need my application to check answer when user clicks 'enter' on his keyboard, but unfortunately nothing happens. Here's the code:
1. Make sure the control actually gets focus
2. If it's a TextBox or derived, there are "AcceptsReturn" and "AcceptsTab" properties that you need to set to 'true' if you want KeyDown events for those two keys.
3. In rare cases, override the "IsInputKey" method and return true for enter, otherwise return base.IsInputKey.

3. In rare cases, override the "IsInputKey" method and return true for enter, otherwise return base.IsInputKey.

I didn't understood the get focus part. Can you tell a bit more about it?
Well, if it's a TextBox and you're successfully typing text into it, it has focus. If you can't tell if any input is getting to it at all then it might not.
Focus means that the control is the one selected to receive keyboard events.
Typically Focus is set when you click on a control or press the TAB key to move between controls.
Various controls have their "Selectable" style (see "Control.Setstyle") true or false, which can affect this.

Thanks and yes, it has focus and "AcceptsReturn" and "AcceptsTab" properties are set to 'true'. It's still doesn't work.
If AcceptsReturn is true and you're not getting the keydown it's possible that the event hasn't been hooked. Your function by itself won't be called unless you added it to the event, which requires something that looks like the following line:
Answer.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Answer_Keydown);
(edit) oops
Answer.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Answer_Keydown);
(edit) oops

Well, there's no changes to my application again.
