You have posted to the wrong Forum. This is a "Visual C++ Programming" Forum, not a CLI and so on one...

This works very well for me:

Code:

---

      System::Void Form1_KeyDown(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs^  e)
      {
        switch(e->KeyCode)
        {
        case Keys::Right:
            pictureBox1->Left += 5;
            break;
        case Keys::Left:
            pictureBox1->Left -= 5;
            break;
        case Keys::Up:
            pictureBox1->Top -= 5;
            break;
        case Keys::Down:
            pictureBox1->Top += 5;
            break;
        }
      }
