Code Like Below to perform what you want.. private void Form1_Load( object sender EventArgs e) { this .KeyPreview = true ; } private void Form1_KeyDown( object sender KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Control == true && e.KeyCode == Keys .F12) { button1.Enabled = true ; } }

The code I posted works. I tested it. Study the code Kirtan; I think you will learn something. I don't understand what you are saying about  not (!control) in Keypress Event ; I assume you just don't understand. Note that my code will toggle the visibility. If that is not needed then of course the visibility can be set to true unconditionally. Also note that the question asked how to make the button visible not enabled but that is a minor detail. I did not say that you copied my code; please don't misquote me. The difference between duplicate and copied is subtle but there is a difference. I said it was a duplicate. To the extent that you honestly believed that my code is wrong I apologize for saying that yours is a duplicate. I did not realize initially that you are using the KeyDown event and to the extent that that is different there is a difference in our code. Regardless my code does do what I said it does.

In the form properties under Misc set the KeyPreview to true. Then in the events for the form add a handler for the KeyPress event. The following code in the KeyPress event handler will toggle the visibility of a button. if (!e.Control) return; if (e.KeyCode != Keys.F12) return; button1.Visible = !button1.Visible; If my reply helped you then please check the  Do you like this Answer  checkbox.
