its simple.. try this
set this Form Property to True from Property Window.
"KeyPreview = True"

VB

Public Class Form1
  Dim EscPressed As Integer = 0

         Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As                 System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then
            EscPressed += 1
            If EscPressed = 1 Then
                'Your First Event Here
                MessageBox.Show("First")
            ElseIf EscPressed = 2 Then
                'Your Second Event Here
                MessageBox.Show("Second")
            ElseIf EscPressed = 3 Then
                'Your Third Event Here
                MessageBox.Show("Third")
            End If
        End If
       End Sub
End Class

Not hating on your creativity Basmeh...:-)! A little more complexed way of doing it...

VB

Public Class Form1 
      Dim EscPressed As Integer = 0 
      Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
                               System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown 

              If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then 
                   Select Case EscPressed 
                        Case 1 : Event1() 
                        Case 2 : Event2() 
                        Case 3 : Event3() 
                   End Select  
              End If 
      End Sub

      Private Sub Event1()
              MessageBox.Show("Event 1 fired") 
              EscPressed += 1 
      End Sub 

      Private Sub Event2()
              MessageBox.Show("Event 2 fired")
              EscPressed += 1 
      End Sub 
     
      Private Sub Event3()
              MessageBox.Show("Event 3 fired")
              EscPressed = 0 End Sub
      End Sub
End Class
