Key down

[ooooscar]

Is there any way to get a key press or key down from all the components of
the form. A mean if a hava a 2 text bo and a press a key into the first i
get a textbox1_keydown event, and if i press a key when i have the focus
into the textbox2 a get textbox2_keydown event but can I get a general event
to get a key from any of them even if i want to get the key down if i have
the focus into a button.

Thank's
Oscar.

Take a look at Form.KeyPreview property.

If you set the form's KeyPreview property true the form will receive all
keyboard events.
