I have a WinForm with a single command button in the middle, I have
added a KeyDown event handler to the form and the method for this is:
private void Form2_KeyDown(o bject sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show (e.KeyCode.ToSt ring());
}
When I run the program and tap on the keyboard nothing happens, I set
a break-point and it is never reached. So I tried using the KeyPress
event instead and the same thing happens.
private void Form2_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventAr gs
e)
{
MessageBox.Show (e.KeyChar.ToSt ring());
}
If I remove the button, both methods are called.... So it appears any
control placed on the page could have focus and prevent my general,
form-level keypress event handler from working as I would like. The
actual project I'm trying to incorporate this into could have many
controls on it, is there a general way to trap a key press by the user
regardless of which control on the form has focus, without adding a
keydown or keypress event handler for every control?
