Hi,
When I have a blank form and I create a KeyDown event
the keyDown event works fine (fires). However, as soon as
I drop a button on a form it looks like the button has the
focus and the keDown doesn't work.
How do u set the focus to the form?

thanks,
A

Click to expand...

Set the form's KeyPreview property to True.
