Hi group,

I have a windows form that uses the F10 function key. The only problem
is that this key is also the shortcut key for the menu Controls and
highlights the first menu item. I need to press F10 twice to achieve
what I want. I do not want the user to have to hit F10 twice all the
time.

Does anyone know how to get around this? I am using the KeyDown and
KeyPress.

with regards

You should be able to override menu access with F10 by using:
e.Handled = true;
.... but you might annoy users who like to use F10 for that purpose.
