I have this:

<Canvas x:Name="LayoutRoot" KeyDown="LayoutRoot_KeyDown">
</Canvas>

In a newly-minted Ag 3 application in VS2008. I simply changed the default <Grid /> to <Canvas /> and added a KeyDown handler that pops a MessageBox.

But no matter how I tried, the KeyDown event just would never, ever fires.

Is it simply that <Canvas /> doesn't support KeyDown or am I doing something wrong?
