Well the toolbar button does not handle the keypress event by default. You could override the ProcessKeyMesssage method and call the click event handler for the button but this is not specific to the toolbar button. Here is a modified version of the code shown in MSDN set up to fire the click event on each of two toolbar buttons when either the F1 or F2 keys are hit: Search in MSDN for ProcessKeyMessage to learn more about it; this and other related items are addressed. protected override bool ProcessKeyMessage( ref Message message) { if (message.Msg == 0x100) { Keys keyCode = ( Keys )message.WParam & Keys .KeyCode; switch (keyCode) { case Keys .F1: this .toolStripButton1_Click( this  EventArgs .Empty); break ; case Keys .F2: this .toolStripButton2_Click( this  EventArgs .Empty); break ; } } return base .ProcessKeyMessage( ref message); }
