I'am using form's keypreview property & keydown (on form) to look for
hotkeys (alt+?)
Everything works fine, except when i have focus on combobox.
Then the event on form isn't raised.
Can some one tell me why & how can it be done?
best regards,

Why not define hidden menu items with the "hotkeys" ('Shortcut'
property)?

you might want to get other combinations then the alt+..

are you intercepting the keys on the cbo keypress event?

Client wants to use Alt+hotkey...
I'am acctuayl not using comboboxes, but autocompletecom bobox (inherited from
combo + autocomlete logic).
I intercept keydown in ACCombobox, handle it, and call mybase.keydown. ....
But the form doesn't raise keydown (keypreview)... .
thanks,

Good thinking....
I'll have this option in mind if i don't find any other solutions (why
should combobox be diferent than other controls)...

Q.) Is the KeyPreview set to true or false.?
Q.) If it is set to True, then the control with focus will not receive the
key events.
Q.) If it is set to false, are other controls receiving the events and only
the ComboBox not receiving ?

There is a silly walkaround :o):
Let's assume we wan't to catch alt+o, and we have focus on combobox (that
doesn't fire form's keypreview...)
I created a temp button
(
text = "&oTemp"
size = "0;0"
)
When i press alt+o, the form brings the focus to temporary button
(automatic), and then it raises keydown event.
The trouble is... i lost focus every time i press alt+o (so i have to handle
that too)

I tryed creating some hidden menus, but the shortcut property doesn't
support Alt+Letter (only alt+(0-9) & alt+(f1-f12)), so this walkaround isn't
good.
Any way to intercept key down before all controls?

Maybe it's an other combobox problem (I heard about similar problems
with this control).

yust thinking here
the key would be cought in the lowest level (in this case your combo)
im thinking in the lines of catching errors
try
try
error
catch
'youll get the error here
end try
catch
'nothing here
end try

I am using KeyPreview on the form to trap Function-keys. My form includes a

Hi,
I am running is some problems with the KeyPreview and KeyPress events.
The KeyPress event is only triggered when there this an focusable control on
the form. When all controls are disabled the Form.KeyPress event does not
trigger anymore.
A way to 'solve' this is to set the focus to the form, but during testing it
happens ofter the keypress event is not getting triggered on keys like

Hi,
I am trying to trace down the Enter key in my Form.KeyPress event handler.
The KeyPreview property is set to false, so I'd assume that all key presses
should go through my form's KeyPress event handler, right? Ok. If the focus
is set to any other control than a button, then the above event handler
fires, but if the focus is on a button, then I've no way to know that the
Enter key has been pressed or not, because in that case pressing...

When a custom control is used within a form, that control does not get
events directly. I've run into this a couple times with both mouse
and keyboard events.
Ex: A custom control inherits from UserControl (or Panel, etc). If
that particular control is being edited, it IS possible to assign
handlers and get events.
However, when the control is used on the main form, assigning a
handler to the particular control does nothing--the...

I would like to find a way in C# so that, when the user presses the

At the beginning I have tried with the following form event handler:

Hi
I would like to complete a task whenever F4 is pressed by the user anywhere
on a form.
The problem is the Key Down event does not fire for the form if the user is,
for example within a text box. Is there any method of doing this other than
adding the code to the key down event for all controls?
Thanks
