I have a nice sub that looks for when the 4 arrow keys are pressed. I then use that info to programically click buttons (1 to 4) that the user would click to move a little figure around the screen. This way, the user can click the buttons, or use the arrow keys. Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then Button1.PerformClick() End If If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then Button2.PerformClick() End If If e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then Button3.PerformClick() End If If e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then Button4.PerformClick() End If End Sub The problem is, when I use the arrow keys, it cycles through the other controls on the form as if I were pressed the Tab key. I have tried turning off all their "Tabstops" and it does no good. Once the focus reaches a textbox, the arrow keys work fine, but until it reaches the textbox, the arrows do not move the figure on the screen. If I change the Keys commands to be regular keys, like an "A", it works perfect. How do I turn off the tabbing of the arrow keys?

Thank you!
