thanks guys for the response.
i found the solution about an hour after posting this question.
to trap the keystroke, one needs to set the boolean to true in
e.handled for KeyUp, KeyDown and KeyPress.
as to the question why i wanted to display the keystroke in MessageBox...
i can't get the correct ASCII code for capital and lower case letter.
seems like it always display the same KeyValue.
and the KeyValue always for the capital letter.
and yes, the CAPS LOCK is OFF.
anyhow, problem solved now.
case closed. :-)
