Recognizing the Menu Key in KeyDown

I want to do something when the user pushes this button, when inside a textbox. This is what I tried:

private void txtInvisible_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Menu)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("the context menu key was pressed");
    }
}

I tried Keys.L for example, and that triggered it. So maybe the Keys.Menu is the wrong key?

Just use the Keys.Apps key.

private void txtInvisible_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Apps)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("the context menu key was pressed");
    }  
}
