try this: private ArrayList Keys = new ArrayList(); private void InvWiz0_KeyDown(object sender System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { Keys.Add(e); } this i think will capture each key you press on the keyboard and add it to an arraylist. As I have added the whole KeyEventArgs object you will be able to go through and view each one and it's properties. You have to cast it back to an KeyEventArgs when reading tho. ie. object[] Keys_Ar = Keys.ToArray(); foreach(KeyEventArgs Key in Keys_Ar) { } or object[] Keys_Ar = Keys.ToArray(); for(int i = 0; i { ((KeyEventArgs)Keys_Ar[i]).property } P.S I hope you are not looking to use this as a keylogger.!

Override Your control - OnKey...() or ProcessKey...() protected methods. In OnKey... KeyEventArgs see Handled property. Remember method arguments in Your own buffer to future use - string isn't good to remember all keyboard input (shift control alt modifiers etc)
