Forms keypress event not fired ???

dear all,

I manage to handle some code in any form controls keypress or down events
place.
In an other hand, the form_keypress event is not fired ?

Any reason why I cannot get this event fire when a ley_press handler routine
is define, is desable by default ?

regards

Hi Serge,

Another control may be trapping the keypress events (typically a textbox
or even a button). Set your form's KeyPreview property to true to
overcome this.

Happy Coding!

To switch between the child forms in an MDI app, you can use ctrl-tab. I want to eliminate that option. I don't want to let the users switch between the children. I tried using KeyPress and KeyDown in the MDI parent form but I couldn't catch both the ctrl and tab clicks. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
