Keyboard capture problem

[Emil]

I've written a simple application. It consists of main window, menu and a
label. I added event handler to the main form (KeyDown), so when I push a
key on the keyboard, then it's key code should be displayed using a label
(label.Text = e.KeyCode). It works fine with "A", "B" etc. but when I press
left arrow, up arrow etc, the main menu popups and KeyDown event is not
handled.
What should I do ?
PS. I use .NetFramework 2.0 Beta2. In .NetFramework 1.1 there wasn't such
problem.

Have a look at the virtual function ProcessCmdKey() that all WinForms
inherit. You can get at the keyboard keys at a lower level than the
keydown event.
