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.

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.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
