I can't have the system "not read" because the operator forgot to put the cursor into a text box or click on the program to make it active before he climbed 30 feet onto some stock shelves with a wireless scan-gun 50 feet away from the PC and won't realize his mistake until he comes back. The application must also be able to accept input, even if it is not "current window" and up-front. My application has no TextBoxes or any input boxes what-so-ever on it. It needs to read in the input, and once "return" or "enter" is hit, process what it has.

What I want to do is read an input into a string variable from either keyboard or the barcode scanner (which Windows identifies as a keyboard device, there is no driver as a HID device). I like elegant solutions, but at the same time, I know the barcodes I'm scanning will never have any other symbols besides these two. Yes, I pretty much did a bit of brute force. Brute force is ugly, but it's usually intuitive.) Keys.D5 is likely to always correspond to "5". (And, if the set of keys you want to check is small enough, you could always write a lookup table. There might be a better way to go about what you want, but I want to make sure I know what you want first. But in order to do that, I need to know specifically which character is being sent and I've had mixed results with the KeyPress event." I want my TextBox to intercept those keyboard events, process them, and manipulate them in some way. It sounds like your problem description is something like, "I've got a barcode scanner that works by simulating keypresses. That's why I got excited about those converter classes. KeyDown and KeyUp, for whatever reason, decide not to do that processing and give you a lower-level representation that resembles the hardware's view of a keyboard. KeyPress is the most reliable event for that since it actually gives you a Char. Going from key events to an actual character can be a mess in WinForms, I've had a lot of problems with it. I think this is the part of the thread where it might be best to step back and answer, "What are you trying to do?" instead of continuing to try and answer the original question.
