Well you could use the event approach and create a variable to store the state of your key. Detect when the keydown event indicates it has been pressed.

E.g.

private bool ControlKeyDown = false;

private void txtSendData_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (KeyHandled = e.KeyCode == Keys.ControlKey)
    {     
         ControlKeyDown = true;
    }
}

private void txtSendBox_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.ControlKey)
    {
        ControlKeyDown = false;
    }
}

Then all you'd have to do is check your ControlKeyDown variable. It will get updated in realtime by the event handlers.
