MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create a new Microsoft Visual Basic Windows application

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project. The New Project dialog box appears.
3. Under Project Types, click Visual Basic Projects, and under Templates, click Windows Application, and then click OK. By default, a form that is named Form1.vb is added to the project.
   
   Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Visual Basic.
4. Add a CheckedListBox control to the Form1 form.

Add items to the CheckedListBox control

1. Double-click the Form1 form to obtain the Form1_Load event.
2. Add the following code in the Form1_Load event:

   Dim ItemObject(9) As System.Object
           Dim i As Integer
           For i = 0 To 9
               ItemObject(i) = "Item" & i
           Next i
           CheckedListBox1.Items.AddRange(ItemObject)

Add a handler for the KeyPress event

1. In the code view of Form1.vb, click CheckedListBox1 in the first box.
2. Click the KeyPress event from the second box that is provided in the Code view of Form1.vb. Notice that in the Code view of Form1.vb, the KeyPress event appears as follows:

   Private Sub CheckedListBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object,
       ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.KeyPress
   
       End Sub

3. Add the following code to the KeyPress event of the CheckedListBox1 control:

   MsgBox("KeyPress event fired")

Build and then run the application

1. On the Build menu, click Build Solution.
2. On the Debug menu, click Start.

Press the SPACEBAR on the keyboard while the CheckedListBox control is selected

1. Press the SPACEBAR on the keyboard while the CheckedListBox control is selected on the form. Notice that the KeyPress event is not fired.
2. Press any other character keys from your keyboard. Notice that the KeyPress event is fired.
