detect keypress without focused (nor focusable) controls

[Jacco]

Hi,

I want to detect what characters are typed in the (fromerly called) SIP but
my form has no focusable controls on it.Somehow, the form_keypress event
does not fire.

Anybody out there who can help me out doing this?

Using .net compact with visual studio 2003 in VB mode.

ANy help is GREATLY appreciated!

Jacco.

Take a look at the ApplicationEx class and the IMessageFilter interface.

Jacco,

Give this managed class library a try... You will be able to receive button
/ navigation key events globally in your application.
