If I add a ToolStripTextBox control to a ToolStrip. At run time if I want to
enter a text like "[something]", then to enter the "]" character I have to
press
the AltGr+9 Key(Keys.D9)(Norwegian keyboard). The problem is that
what happens is that the menu get's activated instead of the character
beeing
added to the textbox. I get a Keys.Menu.

Does anyone else get this problem?
What could be a workaround to this problem?

The answer is to subscribe to the PreviewKeyDown event on the textbox and
set; e.IsInputKey = true; Now it works great. :) What a relief.
