I have a bunch of custom text boxes and code I would like to run on a F3 key press. I have assigned all of this to a button click but want to have it assigned to F3 instead. Any ideas?

//All - Clear Out
	private void btnClearOrderForm_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
	{
		ClearScreen();
	}

	private void ClearScreen()
	{
		epiNumericRMANum.Value = (0);
		epiTextBoxLineArt.Text = string.Empty;
		epiTextBoxOrderNoAttach.Text = string.Empty;
		btnShipstore.Visible = true;
		btnChecklist.Visible = true;
		epiTextBoxNoChecklist.Visible = false;
		btnCreateNon_Conformance.Visible = true;
		txtCustomer_CustID.Text = string.Empty;
		epiTextCustNumRef.Text = string.Empty;
		numOrderDtl_OrderNum.Value = (0);
		numOrderDtl_OrderLine.Value = (0);
		numOrderDtl_TotalReleases.Value = (0);
		epiNumericOrderNumRef.Value = (0);
		epiNumericEditorOrderLineNo.Value = (0);
		epiNumericEditorLastLocation.Value = (0);	
		epiTextBoxPORefNum.Text = string.Empty;
		txtOrderHed_PONum.Text = string.Empty;
		epiTextBoxCustomerName.Text = string.Empty;
		epiTextCustNumRef.Text = string.Empty;
		txtQuoteSentDate.Text = string.Empty;
		epiTextBoxQuoteLetterTo.Text = string.Empty;
		QuoteRefNum.Value = (0);
		epiTextBoxQuoteLetterHTML.Text = string.Empty;	
		MessageBox.Show("Is everything 0?");
		DynamicQueryAdapter dqa = new DynamicQueryAdapter(oTrans);
		dqa.BOConnect();
		QueryExecutionDataSet qeds = dqa.GetQueryExecutionParametersByID("GS_Order_Detail_Params");
		qeds.ExecutionParameter.Clear();
		qeds.ExecutionParameter.AddExecutionParameterRow("OrderNum", epiNumericOrderNumRef.Value.ToString() , "nvarchar", false, Guid.NewGuid(), "A");
		qeds.ExecutionParameter.AddExecutionParameterRow("OrderLine", epiNumericEditorOrderLineNo.Value.ToString() , "nvarchar", false, Guid.NewGuid(), "A");
		dqa.ExecuteByID("GS_Order_Detail_Params", qeds);
		grid_OrderDetails.DataSource = dqa.QueryResults.Tables["Results"];
		changeordernumber();
		changequotenumber();
		changecustomernumber();
		//txtCustomer_CustID.Focus();
	}

I also have something like this on a button, any Ideas to assign it to a ´Hot Key´?

The easiest way to get the desired functionality is to turn on KeyPreview for the form. Then set a key handler:

//initialize
YourFormName.KeyPreview = true;

YourFormName.KeyUp +=
 new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(KeyEvent);

//destroy
YourFormName.KeyUp -=
new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(KeyEvent);

//your func
private void KeyEvent(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) 
 {
         if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F3)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Function F3"); 
         //Your Code
        }
}

do you think something similar to this code could be used to invoke switching action with FunctionKey combination within and entry program such as AP INVOICE ENTRY.
For example: ALT-F8 to switch to LINES/GL ANALYSIS tab
and then CTRL-F8 to switch to HEADER/DETAIL tab

Assuming that those arent already assigned as shortcuts you could do this.
