Handling KeyPress when IsMdiContainer = true

[Sorawit Sharp]

I created a windows form MDI application and want to handle function keys in
the KeyPress and KeyUp handlers.

The handlers are not being called unless I change the application to a SDI
application by setting the form property IsMdiContainer = false.

Anyone has a hint how to handle keys in a MDI application.

Hi,

Not sure this works for MDI forms, but you can try to set the KeyPreview
property to "true".

That's the solution, thanks.
