I have a simple windows app. On the form, I have one panel which displays
an image. I have a KeyDown event that I use to tweek the image depending on
which keys are hit. ie. ctrl-D, ctrl-A, etc. Works fine so far.

Now I've added a textbox (and there will be other controls) to the form, not
the panel. My KeyDown event no longer triggers. How do I get this event
to work if my mouse pointer is over the panel?

Thanks.

Things I've Tried:
-On the mouse move event for the panel, tried to setfocus to the panel.
cursor leaves the text box, but that's it.
-putting the controls into their own panel...nada.

Click to expand...

Set the form's 'KeyPreview' property to 'True' and capture the events in the
form's keyboard events.
