I am currently working on a topdown game made in windows forms. In the game, your character rotates after your mouse and you can shoot a shot from your character in the direction of your mouse. To create multiple areas in the game, I chose to use groupboxes as separate areas in the game that you can switch between using buttons but I've run in to a problem. I can no longer rotate or move my character or even shoot within the groupboxes.
I've tried setting breakpoints and discovered that the keyup, keydown and mousemove methods are not being called but I don't know why. For some reason I get an error when i release space in the btnSave_Click method which i marked in the code.
static Image originalImage; bool pRight, pLeft, pUp, pDown;
string[] Saves;
Save[] RSaves = new Save[4];
Save yoursave;
Save temp;
int slot;
NewGame newgame;
SavedGames savedgames;
string savedata, name = "";

double exp = 0, money = 0;
int pSpeed = 5;
double deltaY, deltaX;
float interval = 7;

The expected outcome is for the movement, aiming and firing to work as intended within the groupboxes but currently they do not execute in the code while in the groupboxes. It works fine in the form but not in the groupboxes. I would appriciate any help.
