KeyPreview

[Lou]

I have an activeX control in my .NET app that steels the "Delete" key, How
can I Steel the key first. I tried the
KeyPreview but that doesn't get the key first.

you can use a messagefilter to intercept all window messages

see this example code http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=5635

in this situation i used this technique to pre process messages that were
otherwise send to the webbrowser control , however you can use this aproach
for anny control
