How to get a clickable button to also activate upon a keypress? (Windows Form C#)

Question

I have a regular button called Btn_Down that activates when clicked, but I also want it to activate when the 'S' key is pressed. Can anyone help me out with this?

Subscribe to KeyDown event of form control which contains your button and add following code

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    switch (e.KeyData)
    {
        case Keys.S:
            button1_Click(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            //Or
            //button1.PerformClick();
            break;
    }
}

Set form's KeyPreview property to true. These settings should give the effect you want.

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    switch (e.KeyChar)
    {
        case 'S':
        case 's':
            button1_Click(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            //Or
            //button1.PerformClick();
            break;
    }
}
