It all makes no sense. What does it mean, "F5 spoil"? If you need to handle F5, add KeyDown or PreviewKeyDown handler; if you need some action on button's click, handle its Click event...
Learn events and delegates; you won't be able to do any programming without learning it all...

F5 spoil means it cannot function. So I need program it in vb.net for operate the key F5 by clicking mouse on button were I design. Here the other program were I try, but it not function also.

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.f5
Button1.PerformClick()
End Select
End Sub
End Class

look up SendKeys and see if there is a way you can make it work with your button to activate your F5 key. You may need to play around with getting the program you want it applied to in Focus before it will work...
