how do I get TextBox to never beep?

[Bob]

TextBox beeps on Control+Key presses that I need to capture at the form
level. I can stop the beeps by 'handling' them in a TextBox inheritor, but
then the form can't capture them and I have to either raise special events
and recursively search all form controls to handle those or cause the
control to try to notify its form (actually, the MDI parent) directly. Both
of these methods are ugly, I'm hoping someone can point me to an obscure
TextBox option to shut off its lovely beeping "feature".

P.S. No, I can't use RichTextBox because it doesn't give a proper
FixedSingle border, and I can't get .Net to reliably make a custom
FixedSingle control border with NCPaint.

You can set the Forms KeyPreview to true. This way the form will see these
keystrokes first.

Thanks, that works well OnKeyPress.
