Making a print dialog close when pressing escape

Hi There,

I am using a PrintPreviewDialog and I would like it to close the print
preview dialog when I press the escape key.

What is the best way to do that?

I tried to make myself a new class that inherited the
PrintPreviewDialog, and then I tried to override the key methods
(OnKeyDown, OnKeyUp, OnKeyPress). That did absolutely nothing.

I also tried intercepting the key events with a delagate but that also
did nothing.

Your help would be appreciated.

Try overriding ProcessCmdKey and try catching the esc key there.
