Trying to create a part of my program to allow users to keybind whatever button they would like and might be going at it the wrong way. Basically what I have is textbox that will allow the user to enter a number for the hotkey lets say "118" which is F7. I would like it to go like it to replace Keys.F7 to whatever they have.

Code

Select Case e.KeyCode
            Case Keys.F7 // I have tried making this an integer that took a value but //it did not work
                MessageBox.Show("Testing")
            Case Keys.F8
                MessageBox.Show("Testing2")

        End Select

Two options.

Make a new form that is something like this:
Spoiler (Click to View)



Then use it like:

Code

using (demoForm hkForm = new demoForm())
{
    if(hkForm.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        Keys selectedKey = hkForm.SelectedKey;
    }
}

Spoiler (Click to View)



Or use reflection:

Code

Keys k = (Keys)typeof(Keys).GetField(comboBox.Text).GetValue(null);

How about a Dictionary(Of Keys, String) to hold it? Prevents you having to account for each key individually with a huge switch.
